When an investor receives an EB-5 Form I-526 approval, they become eligible for conditional permanent residency in the U.S. which means they become eligible for many rights.

What does it mean to have conditions on your EB-5 permanent resident status? The only difference between conditional permanent residency and permanent residency is that the conditional permanent residency is temporary.

EB-5 permanent resident status grants investors many rights. From USCIS “Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants” these rights include:

The right to live anywhere in the U.S. (An EB-5 investor is not required to live near their investment. Most investors who invest in a Regional Center project do not live near their investments as they are not required to manage the day-to-day operations of the investment.)
The right to work in the U.S.
The right to own property in the U.S.
The right to attend public school in the U.S. (Eligibility to obtain reduced in-state tuition for many colleges and universities.)
The ability to apply for a driver’s license.
The ability to travel throughout the U.S. and leave and return from the U.S. under certain conditions.
The right to join particular branches of the U.S. armed forces.
The ability to receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicare benefits, if eligible.
Eligibility to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years.
The ability to request visas for your spouse and unmarried children under the age of twenty-one years.
