Is it better to apply for EB 1A or EB5?

EB 1A is better than EB5, and EB 1A has more advantages. The advantages of EB 1A mainly include the following aspects:

1. Fast approval speed.

Compared with any other immigration application category, EB- 1A has faster approval speed and shorter scheduling time. When submitting materials, I- 140 only takes 14 working days at the earliest. After approval, the applicant only needs to go to the embassy for an interview according to the schedule, which is undoubtedly the fastest way to get a green card.

2. No need for an American employer

EB- 1A immigrants can submit application documents in the name of the applicant without providing employer support and permanent work commitment. This saves the applicant a lot of trouble and uncontrollable.

3. Not limited by English level, education and age.

The applicant's education, English level and age are not within the scope of EB- 1A green card application standards for outstanding talents. Because an outstanding talent is a leader in a certain field, his or her field does not necessarily require a high degree of education and excellent English expression, reading and writing skills. Therefore, as long as you prove to the Immigration Bureau that the applicant has certain excellent immigration qualifications, has the ability to carry out relevant work in the United States and contributes to the United States, you are eligible for a green card.

4. You can apply multiple times.

The application of EB- 1A green card for outstanding talents is not final. If it is not approved for the first time, the Immigration Bureau will ask the applicant to provide more evidence through supplementary documents. And the audit is independent, and the result of the previous audit does not affect the latter audit.

5. No investment is needed

More and more applicants with excellent backgrounds have changed from EB-5 investment immigrants to EB- 1A talents immigrants. The reason is that there is no investment in the green card application of outstanding talents, which avoids unnecessary financial loss risks.

6. One-step family

Applicants can not only immigrate smoothly, but also their spouses and unmarried children under the age of 2/kloc-0 will get permanent green cards in one step and enjoy many benefits such as education, medical care, employment and entrepreneurship in the United States.

7. US policy support

EB- 1A excellent talent immigrants are the "first priority" category of professional immigrants stipulated by American immigration law. 28.6% of the annual global immigrant visa quota in the United States, that is, about 40,000 immigrant visas, plus the unused quotas for special immigrants and investment immigrants, will be used for EB- 1A immigrants with outstanding talents.

8. There is no need to go through the temporary green card stage.

Once obtained, it is a permanent green card, which can be done once and for all without going through the temporary green card stage.

At present, EB5 investment immigrants do not have much advantage, with long schedule (about 10 years) and high cost. Fortunately, there are not many other requirements for the applicant. If you are not short of money and don't want to toss, you can choose this method. Applicants need to invest US$ 654.38+08,000 or US$ 500,000 in new business projects in the United States, and employ at least 654.38+00 foreign investors as full-time American workers.

Regarding investment immigration, there is one point that needs special attention. This seemingly simple method actually needs a lot of details.

For example, when a regional center fails to meet certain conditions, USCIS will cancel its qualification in the investment immigration project. If the applicant invests in these terminated regional centers, the qualification for applying for an investment immigration visa will be affected; Even if investors find the problems of the regional center in time after investing, the EB-5 investors involved may face a more difficult situation after the termination of the regional center.
