EB-5 Process for Students
For young people, the dream of studying in the United States often comes with the bigger goal of building a long-term future. The lack of employer willingness to sponsor F-1 students for long-term visas presents unique challenges for those seeking US immigration. At LCR, we serve as your trusted immigration management consultants, guiding and coordinating every step of the EB-5 investor visa process in partnership with experienced US immigration attorneys and USCIS-approved project partners. We work hand in hand with you throughout your entire journey to a US Green Card.Â

They can secure work permits and international travel permits within 6 months by adjusting status in the US.
They gain freedom from the H-1B lottery and visa renewals.
They enjoy benefits like improved admission rates to US colleges, in-state tuition when applicable, and expanded career opportunities.

Your Journey with Us
Application & Documentation CoordinationÂ
We work with you and your US immigration attorney to ensure all required documentation for your EB-5 application, such as the I-526E petition, is prepared and filed smoothly as part of a seamless EB-5 process.
The End of Visa AnxietyÂ
For international students already in the US on an F-1 visa, we guide you through the critical step of concurrently filing for Adjustment of Status (AOS) while you wait for your EB-5 application to be approved. This helps reduce EB-5 visa processing times by allowing you to secure a work permit and travel permit in as little as 6 months, giving you immediate freedom and flexibility.
Continue Your Studies without Disruption
While your EB-5 process is underway, you receive work and travel permits by adjusting your status — allowing you to focus on your academic and professional goals. It’s one of the most significant advantages for international students getting a green card through EB-5.
Conditional Green Card
Typically, within 12–24 months of filing, you receive a two-year EB-5 conditional green card, granting you US Permanent Residency on a conditional basis.
Permanent Green Card & Path to Citizenship
In the 90 days before your two-year conditional Green Card expires, we work with your attorney to file the I-829 petition — the final step toward your Permanent Green Card and US Citizenship.
