Indian Business Owners Relocating to the US With EB5 Visa

Scale Globally. Operate from America. Stay Compliant.

You have built a successful business in India. Now you are scaling globally, raising capital in Silicon Valley, establishing US operations or positioning for acquisition. But immigration uncertainty should not slow your momentum.

We help Indian founders and business owners move to America fast, secure permanent residency and maintain full RBI/FEMA compliance while building from the world’s largest market.

The Founder's Immigration Strategy: O-1 to EB-5

Phase 1: O-1 Visa - Immediate US Access (2-3 Months*):

What Is O-1: O-1 visa offers exceptional entrepreneurs a 3-year renewable visa, no lottery or cap, with spouse work authorization as O-3 dependent.

Who Qualifies: O-1 visa candidates are accomplished entrepreneurs with funding, recognition, patents or media presence; application and processing take 6–8 weeks, including premium options.

Advantage: Get to the US immediately. Establish operations, meet investors, build team and start generating revenue while your EB-5 processes in parallel.

Phase 2: EB-5 - Permanent Residency (Concurrent Strategy):

File EB-5 Immediately After O-1: After obtaining O-1, invest $800K in EB-5, file I-526E+I-485 concurrently, gain EAD in months and conditional Green Card in 18-24 months.

Why EB-5 for Business Owners: EB-5 grants independence from company performance, permanent status without renewals, spouse work freedom, children’s Green Cards and flexibility to exit, pivot or sell freely.

Combined Timeline: File an O-1 visa, enter the U.S. in 2 months* to start operations, file EB-5 concurrently in month three, receive EAD in 6-9 months* and secure a conditional Green Card within 18-24 months*, achieving permanent residency in under two years while growing your business.
