29. ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES AFTER INVESTING, FILING THE I-526 OR DURING CONSULAR PROCESSING

The allowance of non-immigrant or foreign visitors to the United States is dependent on their ability to prove the travel has an end date. Once an EB-5 participant has paid their project funds, it may be difficult to portray a non-immigrant intent because the it now seems they are attempting to establish legal permanent resident status. Prior to filing the I-526 or applying for the consulate interview within U.S. borders, investors should consult a legal counsel to establish methods of acquiring a temporary (non-immigrant) admission to the U.S. after making the investment.
