EB5 investors get a green card soon after their applications are processed, as opposed to other employment based visa categories such as H1B, L1A and L1B. After getting a work visa under most categories an employee needs to be sponsored by his or her employer under employment based first (EB1), second (EB2) or third (EB3) category for a green card.
An Eb5 investor does not need a sponsor in the United States. Prior to September, EB1 and EB5 categories were current, however in the September visa bulletin published by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) the priority date for EB5 was current whereas for EB1 it became January 2010, EB2 was February 2005 and EB3 was February 2005.
