There are three main checkpoints, all with their own timeline:
- EAD: Typically issued within 6-8 months of filing, allowing an investor to work in the U.S.
- Temporary Green Card: Granted approximately 2-3 years after investment, providing conditional permanent residency.
- Green Card: After 2+ years of conditional status, you can apply to remove conditions and obtain a permanent green card.
NOTE: *The timelines depend on country of residence of the investor.
