What H1B visa holders need to know about EB-5

A new LIVE session replay is now available, focusing on how the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program can serve as a strategic pathway to U.S. permanent residency for H-1B visa holders—especially those from India and China facing long wait times.

In this session, EB-5 expert Irina Rostova explains why more H-1B professionals are turning to EB-5 as a flexible alternative to employer-sponsored visas. Unlike traditional pathways, EB-5 does not require employer sponsorship and may allow investors to remain in the U.S. while their application is being processed.

The session covers key considerations such as documenting lawful source of funds, understanding current USCIS expectations, and selecting the right project structure. It also highlights the importance of timing—particularly the recommendation to file before September 30, 2026, to potentially secure current program rules through grandfathering protection.

This replay is especially valuable for H-1B professionals seeking a more predictable path to a green card and greater control over their immigration future.

Watch the full replay to learn how EB-5 can fit into your long-term U.S. immigration strategy.
