How long does it take for the United States to invest in immigrants?

It takes about 6-8 months for the applicant to sign a contract with the immigration agency and get the approval of I-526. After getting a temporary green card for 2 years, as long as the investment project is profitable and creates 10 jobs, it can be converted into a permanent green card, and the capital of 500,000 US dollars can be recovered after 3 years.

Including the preparation of personal materials, the handling and submission of documents, the lawyer's determination of the source of funds, and the time for immigration review, it takes about 2 months. During this period, the Immigration Bureau mainly examines the legitimacy of investors' 500,000 sources of funds.

After the Immigration Bureau approves the I-526 application, it will notify the applicant and his family to interview at the Guangzhou Consulate to apply for an immigrant visa. According to American immigration law, the applicant will land in the United States within 180 days after the interview at the consulate. When the applicant enters the country for the first time, the US government will register the applicant, get the information of the applicant, and mail the green card to the American address designated by the applicant 2-4 weeks later. This process takes about 3 months.
