THE H-1B PROBLEM — SOLVED

You Have Done Everything Right. The H-1B Lottery Is Not Your Problem to Accept.

If you are a senior tech professional, a founder, or someone with significant savings and options — you already know the H-1B system is broken for people at your level. A 6.7% annual lottery probability. Employer dependency. Annual renewal anxiety. The sense that your American future is decided by a random draw, not by what you have built or what you are worth.

The EB-5 Is a Different System Entirely
The EB-5 program is an investor-based immigration pathway. It is not subject to annual caps. It does not require an employer or a job offer. It is not a lottery. Your Green Card is tied to your investment — which means it is tied to a decision you control, not a process that controls you.
For Families Already in the H-1B Cycle
If you have a spouse or child in the U.S. on H-1B, dependent visa, or F-1, the EB-5 can be pursued by you as the principal investor — from India. Your unmarried children under 21 are covered under your petition. One investment can resolve the H-1B uncertainty for the entire family in one structured process.
Indian Nationals Have No Backlog — Right Now
Indian EB-5 applicants currently face no retrogression or priority date queue. The process from filing to Conditional Green Card runs on standard USCIS timelines: 12 to 24 months. Compare that to the EB-2 or EB-3 routes for Indian nationals — where priority dates can be backlogged by more than a decade.
EB-5 FOR FOUNDERS & ESOP LIQUIDITY

If You Have Capital to Deploy, This Is One of the Smartest Uses of It.

Whether your liquidity event came from a startup exit, an ESOP vesting, or years of disciplined savings at a senior level — you are sitting on capital that could do more than sit in a fixed deposit or mutual fund. The EB-5 puts that capital to work in the United States — and in return, gives your family permanent residency.

$800,000 — What It Actually Is
Your investment of $800,000 (approximately ₹6.65 crore) funds a USCIS-approved Regional Center project — typically in real estate, hospitality, or infrastructure. It is held in escrow until USCIS approves your petition. It generates jobs. And it is returned at the end of the investment period per your agreement terms. This is not a fee. It is a structured capital deployment.
Compared to Keeping Capital in India
Fixed deposits. Equity. Real estate. These are valid instruments — but none of them return U.S. permanent residency for your family. The EB-5 does. For founders and senior tech professionals who understand capital efficiency, the yield here is not just financial.
Founders Who Have Already Exited
Post-exit founders often face a question of what to do with liquidity. The EB-5 offers a structured, regulated answer — with a defined timeline, a clear outcome, and a U.S. legal framework that has existed for decades. We handle the complexity. You focus on your next chapter.
WHAT YOUR FAMILY GETS

The Specifics. Because You Will Want to Know Them.

U.S. Green Card — For the Whole Family
You, your spouse, and all unmarried children under 21 receive U.S. permanent residency under a single petition. No staggered process. No additional fees per dependent. One filing. One outcome.
Spouse — Full Work Authorization, No Restrictions
One of the most consistent frustrations for Bangalore tech families is the spouse dependent visa. On an H-4, your spouse cannot work without an EAD — and EAD approvals are slow, inconsistent, and tied to your H-1B status. With a Green Card, your spouse has full, unrestricted work authorization. Any employer. Any industry. Any state. Or their own startup.
Children — Resident Access to US Universities
Your children apply to American universities as residents — not as international applicants. In-state tuition at a top-tier state university is a fraction of international rates. Across four years, the savings can exceed ₹1 crore. And unlike OPT or CPT, there are no post-graduation work visa complications.
U.S. Citizenship — In Five Years
Five years after your Green Card, you may apply for U.S. citizenship. The American passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 147+ countries. For Bangalore's globally mobile professionals, this is not a minor benefit.
HOW IT WORKS

The Process. Clear and Linear.

Step 1 — Choose Your Project
We present USCIS-approved Regional Center projects that have passed our rigorous eight-point due diligence process, including USCIS compliance, job creation methodology, financial strength, escrow structure, and exit strategy. Your $800,000 investment is held securely in escrow and remains protected until USCIS approves your petition.
Step 2 — File I-526E
Our attorneys prepare and file your immigration petition with USCIS. Every document is handled by us — including the source-of-funds documentation, which is the critical foundation of a strong petition. For founders and ESOP recipients, we have extensive experience documenting complex fund sources.
Step 3 — Consulate Interview in India
Your immigrant visa interview happens at a U.S. Consulate in India — no US travel required. We prepare you completely: documents, mock interview, and personal advisory support before the day.
Step 4 - Green Card and the Path to Citizenship
You enter the U.S. and receive your 2-year Conditional Green Card. After two years, we file I-829 to remove conditions. You receive your permanent 10-year Green Card. Five years from that date, U.S. citizenship is available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions & Answer

Q1: Can I use ESOP proceeds or startup exit funds as my EB-5 investment capital?
Yes — but the source-of-funds documentation must be thorough and USCIS-compliant. ESOP vesting records, exercise documentation, employer statements, brokerage records, and tax filings all form part of the evidence package. This is an area where we have significant experience with Indian tech clients, and we manage the documentation process from end to end.
Q2: How does EB-5 compare to continuing on H-1B from India?
H-1B requires employer sponsorship, is subject to an annual lottery (currently registering over 750,000 applicants for 85,000 slots), and must be renewed. EB-5 requires no employer, has no lottery, and is not subject to annual renewal. Indian nationals currently face no EB-5 backlog — meaning the timeline to a Conditional Green Card is 12 to 24 months, compared to indefinite for EB-2/EB-3.
Q3: My spouse is on H-4 in the US. How does EB-5 help?
H-4 dependent visa holders can only work if they have an approved H-4 EAD — which is tied to the principal H-1B holder's status and subject to policy changes. As a Green Card holder, your spouse has full, permanent, unrestricted work authorization. No EAD. No dependency. No renewal. One of the most concrete and immediate benefits of the EB-5 for Bangalore tech families.
Q4: How long does the process take for Indian nationals?
Indian EB-5 applicants currently face no retrogression. From filing your I-526E petition to receiving your Conditional Green Card is typically 12 to 24 months. This is the fastest investor-based U.S. immigration pathway available to Indian nationals today.
Q5: Do I need to relocate to the US immediately after getting the Green Card?
No. U.S. permanent residency requires that you maintain U.S. residency as your primary residence over time, but it does not require immediate relocation. Many of our clients continue working and living in Bangalore for months or years before making the transition. We advise on how to maintain your Green Card status properly throughout this period.
Q6: Is the consultation available virtually?
Yes. We offer consultations via Zoom, Google Meet, and WhatsApp — at a time that works with your schedule. You can book in under two minutes through our website or by WhatsApp.
Q7: What is attorney-client privilege and does it apply here?
Attorney-client privilege is a legal protection that keeps all communications between you and your attorney private and confidential — and it cannot be compelled to be disclosed. It applies from the moment you engage with our legal team, including during consultations. Everything you share with us remains entirely confidential.
