## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum EB 5 investment amount?
A: The standard minimum is $1,050,000. For Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs), rural areas, or infrastructure projects, the minimum is $800,000. These amounts were set by the EB 5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022.

Q: How long does the EB 5 process take?
A: I 526E processing typically takes 12 to 36 months depending on category. After approval, conditional residence is obtained through adjustment of status or consular processing. The conditional period lasts two years, after which I 829 is filed. Total time from filing to unconditional green card is generally 4 to 7 years.

Q: What is source of funds documentation?
A: Source of funds traces the lawful origin of investment capital from its original source to the EB 5 project. USCIS requires tax returns, bank statements, property records, business financial statements, and other evidence showing how money was earned and transferred.

Q: How do I choose an EB 5 attorney?
A: Look for attorneys with confirmed EB 5 experience, ask about I 526E approval track records, verify independence from the regional center or project developer, and confirm active state bar membership through the bar's public directory.

Q: What is the difference between regional center and direct EB 5?
A: Regional center investment allows indirect and induced job counting through economic models. Direct investment requires the investor to create or manage the business and directly hire 10 employees. Regional center is the majority of EB 5 filings.

Q: How are attorney profiles verified?
A: Verification includes state bar record checks to confirm active licensure, employment confirmation through firm websites and professional databases, and review of practice area claims. Attorneys who lose bar status are removed from the directory.

Q: Does this directory provide legal advice?
A: No. EB5 Attorneys is an attorney directory, not a law firm. The site provides information to help users find and compare attorneys. For legal advice about your specific situation, consult directly with a licensed immigration attorney.

Q: How often is directory data updated?
A: Attorney profiles rebuild every 12 hours from the database. State bar records are checked quarterly. Editorial guides are reviewed monthly for accuracy of fees, timelines, and procedural information.

Q: Is there a cost to use the directory?
A: The directory is free for anyone searching for an immigration attorney. Attorneys may purchase enhanced listing features through the pricing page.

Q: What states does the directory cover?
A: The directory includes verified attorneys across 20+ states with active listings. Coverage expands as new attorneys are verified and added.
