In most cases, your best bet is an immigration lawyer, also known as an eb5 attorney. Get to know the ways one can help you in this sometimes arduous process.
1). You will need someone to explain the requirements to you. Though you might know the basics, if you want to ensure that you meet them all, an eb5 attorney can help. He or she will meet with you and walk you through the guidelines, which should help you decide if you want to commit to this immigration route or not. Once you agree to undergo the process, your hopefully positive relationship with your eb5 attorney can allow you to feel in good hands.
2). You can be coaxed through situations unfamiliar to you. If anyone tries to question your credibility or whether you meet the requirements, your immigration attorney can back you up. You might encounter some discrimination or even simple misunderstandings during the eb5 visa process, but your eb5 attorney can typically clear these up. In fact, in most cases, you will not even have to have contact with others involved in the process, at least not without your lawyer present.
3). No one likes paperwork. While of course you will have to sign several papers, you will have the benefit of your eb5 attorney explaining terms and contracts to you as you go along. Anything that does not have to be signed by you can likely be taken care of by your eb5 attorney. Even if you have to be present during this time, at least you will not be left alone to fill out form upon form before you realize your goal of living in the United States.
Having an immigration lawyer is not necessarily required, but because of the many steps involved in the eb5 visa program, it is certainly recommended. If you have an idea of where you want to live, you can find an eb5 attorney in that area. If you are more open, however, you can find a great one in any area across the country. You would then stay in that area under a temporary visa until your petition is approved and you can start working with your lawyer to get an immigrant visa. No matter which way you start, your eb5 attorney should help you every step of the way, from filing a petition to obtaining a full green card after two years.
