U.S. Investment Immigration Through an EB-5 Green Card Application by a Father to Support a Child’s Education and Long Term Stability in the United States

The father, serving as the principal applicant, evaluated multiple immigration categories before determining that the EB-5 immigrant investor framework best aligned with the family’s goals.

Unlike nonimmigrant visa options that impose duration limits and post graduation uncertainty, the EB-5 green card application offered a path to permanent residence for both the investor and eligible dependents.

From the outset, the strategy emphasized lawful compliance, predictability, and education continuity rather than short term mobility or employment flexibility.

The family was advised that permanent resident status would materially affect tuition classification, future employment eligibility, and long term settlement options for the child.

The applicant invested through a designated regional center project structured to meet job creation and capital deployment requirements under the EB-5 program.

Following due diligence, the family proceeded with the filing of the I-526 immigrant petition, which was approved within a relatively efficient timeframe compared to historical averages.

The approval confirmed that the investment capital was lawfully sourced, properly committed, and aligned with program requirements, allowing the green card application to advance to the immigrant visa stage.

Throughout this phase, the legal team ensured that documentation remained consistent with federal standards and New York based immigration practice norms, reducing the risk of delays or requests for additional evidence.

Consular preparation focused on verifying the legitimacy of the investment, the family relationship, and the intent to reside permanently in the United States.

Both the father and the child attended the immigrant visa interview, during which the approved green card application was reviewed under standard consular scrutiny.

Because the case had been properly structured from the initial filing stage, no additional documentation was requested, and immigrant visas were approved shortly after the interview.

This outcome highlights the importance of consistency between USCIS filings and consular representations in EB-5 matters involving dependents.

As a lawful permanent resident, the child became eligible to attend U.S. public schools under resident tuition standards applicable to lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens, eliminating concerns associated with international student enrollment classifications.

Equally significant, the child no longer faced the pressure of maintaining temporary nonimmigrant student status or immediately securing employment based immigration sponsorship following graduation.

Because permanent residence was already secured through the parent’s green card application, future academic and career decisions could be made without immigration driven constraints.

This stability allowed the family to approach U.S. life planning with confidence, knowing that the child’s residence status would not depend on future visa approvals or employer sponsorship.
