As per the EB5 Immigrant Visa program, the investor, his/her spouse, and unmarried children below 21 years of age are permitted to obtain permanent residency in the United States on a conditional Green Card. Upon completion of approximately two years, the conditions can be removed and the Immigrant investor can apply for a permanent green card. In order to become US Citizens, the investor and family need to fulfill a 5 year period which is counted from the time they receive their conditional GC. Upon completion of the required time frame, the investor and family members can apply for a change of status from lawful permanent residents to US Citizenship.
