Processing Time
The processing time for the I-526 form (Form I-526: Immigration Petition by Standalone Investor) is approximately 70.8 months. If You Are in the U.S.: the next step after I-526 approval is filing Form I-485. The processing time for I-485 is approximately 6 to 8 months. If You Are Outside the U.S. after I-526 approval, you must file Form DS-260. The U.S. consulate then provides USCIS approval, and an interview is typically scheduled within 90 days. The final step in the EB-5 process is filing Form I-829 (Form I-829: Removing Conditions on Permanent Residency), which removes conditions on permanent resident status in approximately 22 to 48.5 months.
News & FAQ Corner
Can I bring family members with me?
No, students are typically not permitted to bring family members with them. There are some very exceptional circumstances where this may be permitted.
Can I include anyone else on my Express Entry application?
You may include yourself, your spouse, and any dependent children (i.e. under 19 years of age). You may not include any other family members, such as siblings, parents, or grandparents
Do I need a visa if I’m transiting through Canada to another country?
Whether you need documents for transiting through Canada depends on your situation.
There are two main groups of travelers: those who need a visa (from visa-required countries) and those who need an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
Some travelers who need a visa must get a visitor visa if they are:
- Visiting Canada, even for less than 48 hours
- Staying in Canada for more than 48 hours while transiting
- Entering Canada by bus, car, train, boat, or cruise ship
Other visa-required travelers may only need a transit visa if they are:
- Stopping at a Canadian airport on the way to another country.
- Connecting between two international flights at a Canadian airport
- Transiting through Canada in 48 hours or less
- Without a valid visitor visa
Visa-exempt travelers need an eTA to transit through Canada by air. Those traveling by train, bus, boat, or cruise ship don't need an eTA but must have the correct travel documents.
