EB-5 Family Immigration

Can My Family Immigrate With Me?

Yes, provided the child(ren) are under age 21 when the first EB-5 petition is filed – the I-526. The Child Status Protection Act should freeze the child’s age. Thus, even if a child turns 21 after the I-526 is filed, they can still immigrate with the principal applicant.

Family dependents may immigrate with the principal applicant or later on following to join the investor. The dependents may not however immigrate first, unless they have their own EB-5 application which requires a separate petition.
