Immigration

Overview

Although the process of immigration to the U.S. through the U.S. immigrant investor program may appear complex, the PIDC Regional Center is committed to seeing each immigrant investor through the complete immigration process from the initial application to receiving a permanent green card. Working with the investor and his or her immigration attorney, the PIDC Regional Center will help prepare all evidentiary documentation in support of the investor's immigration applications.

Immigration Procedures

There are three (3) primary stages for each applicant to the U.S. immigrant investor program.

• First, an investor must submit a Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur.
• Second, once the investor's I-526 Petition is approved, he or she will be given a U.S. Consular Interview appointment for biographical and medical review, or if in the U.S., receives an adjustment of status.
  
• Finally, two (2) years from the date that the investor is granted a conditional green card and enters the U.S., he or she must submit Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions, to demonstrate that the investment has satisfied all the requirements of the U.S. immigrant investor program in order to receive his or her permanent green card.

Testimonials From Our Investors

"I came to the US on a F-1 student visa and has been exploring through different investment projects for EB5 visa and green card application. I think working with CanAm Enterprises and investing through PIDC Regional Center is the smartest choice to make. We have been approved for the I-526 and the project has created more than enough jobs to fulfill the investment requirements during the first year. I would highly recommend CanAm to foreign nationals whose goal is the approval of their green card with peace of mind for the application process."
