Obtain conditional permanent residency for you and your immediate family
After 2 years, apply to remove conditions for permanent green cards
Unlike work visas, EB-5 doesn't require employer sponsorship

Green card holders can apply for citizenship after 5 years
Urban development projects in major metropolitan areas typically offer EB-5 investors greater security and higher probability of capital preservation. Here's why these investments often represent a safer path:
Major urban areas have diverse economies, higher demand for real estate, and more robust job markets, reducing vulnerability to economic downturns.
Urban projects benefit from existing infrastructure, reducing development costs and risks associated with building new infrastructure from scratch.
Denser urban areas make it easier to meet and verify the EB-5 program's job creation requirements, increasing immigration success rates.
Urban projects often attract established developers with substantial track records and financial strength, reducing completion risk.
Urban projects typically have multiple funding sources and contingency plans, reducing reliance on EB-5 capital and enhancing project viability.
Urban real estate markets offer greater liquidity and clearer exit strategies, improving the likelihood of investor capital return.
We thoroughly vet all urban projects using a comprehensive due diligence process that focuses on:
Developer's track record and financial strength
Market demand and absorption rates
Project capitalization and debt structure
Job creation methodology and cushion
Immigration compliance safeguards
Clearly defined exit strategy

Urban project advantages we focus on:
Work with immigration attorneys to prepare comprehensive documentation proving your investment funds were obtained through lawful means. This is a critical component of your application.
Common lawful sources include:
The EB-5 process typically takes 3-5 years from initial investment to permanent residency. Current processing times include approximately 12-24 months for I-526E approval, followed by 3-6 months for consular processing or adjustment of status, and then 18-24 months with conditional green cards before filing the I-829 petition.
If your I-526E petition is denied, you may be able to refile, appeal the decision, or seek a motion to reopen/reconsider. Urban projects typically have lower denial rates due to clearer job creation and business documentation. For I-829 denials, you may appeal or be placed in removal proceedings, which is why selecting a reliable project with job creation cushion is crucial.
All investments carry risk, including EB-5 investments. However, urban projects typically offer lower risk profiles due to stronger markets, experienced developers, and multiple funding sources. Our urban projects are structured with investor protection mechanisms and clear exit strategies. While return of capital is never guaranteed, we focus on projects with strong track records of returning investor capital.
Our team specializes in connecting investors with premium urban EB-5 projects that prioritize capital preservation.
