You have worked very hard towards achieving your goal of providing the best education to your child. Sending your child to study in the US is the first milestone. But what next you would want your child to have a promising career and build a permanent and secure future for him/her in the US. For this, your child needs to get US Permanent Residency (Green Card).
How to get a Green Card for your Child?
The Conventional Route –
The F1 visa allows your child to enter high school, college or university, in the US. This visa is issued solely for education and cannot be used as work visas. Your child would need an H1B visa to work in the US, which must be sponsored by the employer. We all know that getting an H1-B visa is getting more difficult by the day, especially after the introduction of the lottery system. Hence, very few employers are willing to sponsor H1-B visas, thereby restricting your child’s employment and career opportunities.
Assuming your child is lucky and manages to win the H1-B visa in the lottery, the path to getting a Permanent Residency after that is still very long and uncertain. The process could take ten years or even more, and all this time, your child will be at the employer’s mercy.
The EB-5 Route
The EB-5 is a much faster and more certain route to get your child Green Card. All you need is to invest in a US $ 900,000 in specific US government approved EB-5 Projects, which meet the job creation criteria. The good thing about this program is that you can get a green card for the whole family – self, spouse and children below 21 years of age. If your 21 years or above, you can invest and file the application in his or her name. This is the best gift you can give your child – a secure and permanent life in the US.

Getting Green Card through the EB-5 route would take about 2 to 3 years compared to more than ten years through the conventional route.
How Your Child Can Benefit From EB-5 Visa?
Get Green Card Quickly – Your child can become Permanent Resident in US and enjoy all the benefits that come with it within 2 to 3 years (3 to 6 months in case of expedited projects)
Safe future– Your children would not have the sword, of losing their job and returning to India, hanging over their head.
Better Internships and Placements – No dependency on employers for sponsorship. Can find internships and placements through campus fairs and placements without any restrictions.
Career mobility and Job flexibility – Your children can switch jobs and shift to various parts of the US for better job opportunities.
