H1B visa professionals can get EAD & AP within 4 months through EB5 concurrent filing and enjoy complete work freedom.
Indian nationals who are filing EB5 from USA, including H1B, L1 & F1 visa holders, can get EAD (Employment Authorization Document) card within 4 months of filing of their I526E. This rule was not in place prior to RIA (Reforms & Integrity Act), 2022. However, with the amendment, applicants can now opt for concurrent filing, which means an applicant can file I-756, I-131, & I-484 all at the same time, along with their I-526E.
EAD & AP cards are now being issued together, combo card, as a result of which, anyone pursuing EB5 & as long as they are filing while residing in USA, will be able to enjoy both these cards in a short span of 4 months (maximum of 6 months, but not beyond).
An EB5 applicant can work anywhere he likes, shift jobs, start own business, i.e. be self-employed, study, or do nothing to retire and sit at home, as long as EAD is in place. Thus, the EAD card is a magic for those who otherwise had to wait for years, ever after investing in EB5.
Our experienced team can help you understand the concurrent filing process and maximize the benefits of your H1B to EB5 transition, including work freedom and business opportunities.
