Who EB-5 covers, and the green card sequence
USCIS states that EB-5 investors “(and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence” (USCIS). The Child Status Protection Act protects a child’s age: USCIS takes the child’s age on the date a visa becomes available and subtracts the time the investor’s petition was pending, and the child stays unmarried to qualify (USCIS, CSPA). For applications filed on or after 15 August 2025, USCIS uses the Visa Bulletin’s Final Action Dates chart for this calculation (USCIS Policy Manual).
- Form I-526E. The investor files the petition through a regional center’s offering (USCIS, Form I-526E).
- Conditional green card. When a visa is available, the investor, spouse and children apply for permanent residence, in the United States or through a U.S. consulate. The green card is conditional, and its expiry date is the second anniversary of conditional residence (USCIS).
- Form I-829. The family files to remove the conditions during the 90 days before the conditional green card expires (USCIS, Form I-829).
