1. File Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor.
2. After USCIS approves Form I-526 petition, either:
   1. File DS-260, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, with the U.S. Department of State to obtain an EB-5 visa abroad to seek admission to the United States; or
   2. File Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with USCIS to adjust status to a conditional permanent resident within the United States
3. Once USCIS approve Form I-485 application or upon admission into the United States with an EB-5 immigrant visa, USCIS will grant conditional permanent residence to the EB-5 investor and derivative family members for a two-year period.
