If you file an I-526E petition in the U.S., you can file an I-485 petition for change of status at the same time. Once you receive the acknowledgment, you will be able to stay in the U.S. legally. By filing both the I-765 EAD and the I-131 Repatriation Permit, you will receive a COMBO green card, which allows you to legally work in the U.S. and travel freely. The dual submission policy is very friendly to international students, and it only takes 2-3 months to get a work permit, which solves the problem of difficulty in finding a job in the United States and the difficulty of the H-1B lottery.
USCIS has a "21-year-old" age limit for EB-5 children, but there is a set of rules for calculating the "immigrant age" of a child.
After the EB-5 applicant's I-526 is approved, the "immigrant age" of the applicant's children is equal to their real age minus the I-526 processing period (which must be less than 21 years old).
If there is no backlog, then no matter how long the I-526 process takes, as long as the child is under the age of 21 at the time of filing the I-526, the child will meet the age requirement during the 2-year green card application process, because the I-526 processing period will freeze the child's age.
If there is a bulletin date, there may be a risk that the child's actual age will be greater than the I-526 processing period at the end of the bulletin period, as the child's age is not frozen during the bulletin period.
Investors: At present, there are general policy changes in investment immigration programs in Europe, the threshold is raised, and investment projects are closed. Therefore, it is better to quickly obtain high-quality EB-5 immigrant investor status.
International students: If you have the ability to invest, you can submit an application at the same time to help international students stay in the United States quickly, including underage international students, undergraduate students, and graduate students.
Accompanying parents: The United States does not have a special accompanying visa, and it is difficult for a tourist visa to meet long-term needs. EB-5 has a low threshold that can help parents quickly obtain legal status to stay in the U.S. legally.
