Many immigration attorneys and so-called due diligence
"experts" fail to disclose important facts to investors. One such set
of facts is that it takes 3 years to get a
temporary green card and an additional 30+ months to get a permanent green card
in EB-5 visa category, while investors can get a permanent green card in 2
years with EB-1C category visas.
Unscrupulous immigration attorneys, Regional
center promoters and marketers deliberately conceal the important fact from
investors that it is expected that EB-5 visa investors will take at least 2-3
years to get a temporary green card under EB-5 visa category, and an additional
2.5 years to get a permanent green card. In this period, the investor faces an
unnecessary delay that can be easily bypassed simply by using the EB-1C visa
option, with which investors can get a permanent green card in as little as a
year to two years.
The advantages of EB-1C are as follows:
1) Very little chance of fraud, compared to rampant fraud seen in regional centers in the EB-5 visa program.
2) Significantly lower investment amount. In EB-5 visa, a minimum investment of $500,000 is needed, whereas I've had clients get approved with even $350,000 investment in EB-1C visa category.
3) There is total flexibility about location: EB-1C visa investors face no restrictions about location, whereas EB-5 visa investors see significant location based restrictions if they invest only $500,000, and investors have to invest minimum $1 Million to avoid location based restrictions.
4) The EB-5 visa program has onerous proof of fund requirements, whereas the fund documentation requirements are definitely not as stringent in EB-1C visa program.
5) The job creation requirements are a lot more onerous in EB-5 visa, and I've seen that creating even 4 jobs suffices for an EB-1C visa.
6) Unlike the EB-5 visa program, there is no conditional green card in EB-1C visa program.
7) The time to get a permanent green card under EB-1 visa program ranges from 1-2 years, whereas it takes almost 5 years to get a permanent green card under EB-5 visa category. Business owners & executives can immediately move to the US on L1A visa, and get their green card in hand within a matter of months, whereas EB-5 visa holders have to wait for about two years to just get a temporary green card.
Keeping the above factors in mind, most investors are now choosing to go with EB-1C visa as it is a lot cheaper, faster, safer and easier to get compared to the EB-5 visa.
