Get a second opinion before you commit
Rashika Daga, our CEO, reviews your details personally and comes back within one hour with a straight answer, including whether December 31 is still realistic.
Before you sign, know what each route actually covers.
Most families start by speaking to a project sponsor, a consultant or an attorney. Each plays a real part. The question is who is looking at the whole picture for you: the project, the source of your funds, the filing and the deadline.

20 minutes that could decide your EB-5 timeline
Whether December 31 is still realistic for you
Where your funds sit, how many sources they come from and how long a compliant source-of-funds file will take to build. A straight answer, not a sales one.
What the deadline locks in, and what it doesn't
The January 2027 inflation adjustment to the US$800,000 minimum, explained in plain language: the figure is expected to rise to roughly US$900,000-950,000, so investing and filing before December 31, 2026, could save you up to ~US$150,000. And what it does not change: USCIS processing times and decisions.
Adjustment of Status
Enjoy the freedom to live, work and stay in the U.S. If you are already in the country, concurrent filing may let you apply for your EAD (Employment Authorization Document) and Advance Parole at the same time as your petition, so you can work and travel while it is pending.
The true all-in cost
The investment plus administrative, legal and USCIS filing fees, itemized before you commit to anything.
What is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program?
A U.S. congressional pathway that grants permanent residency to qualifying foreign nationals and their immediate families in exchange for a job-creating investment in a U.S. enterprise. No employer sponsorship. No annual lottery. And unlike every employment-based visa, your status is yours, not your company's.
Who can apply
Any foreign national who can invest the required amount from lawful, documented sources. One petition covers you, your spouse and your unmarried children under 21.
The US$800,000 threshold
Most investors qualify through a Targeted Employment Area or rural project at US$800,000. Elsewhere the figure is US$1,050,000. From January 2027 both are scheduled to adjust for inflation, with the US$800,000 tier expected to rise to roughly US$900,000-950,000. Filing before December 31, 2026 could save you up to ~US$150,000.
What you receive
Conditional permanent residency for you and your qualifying family members. After the two-year conditional period, conditions are removed and full permanent residency is confirmed.
No employer required
Unlike H-1B or EB-2/EB-3 routes, EB-5 is not tied to a job. Live anywhere in the U.S., work as you choose, or not at all.
Set-aside categories
USCIS reserves visas each year for rural, high-unemployment and infrastructure projects. For applicants from backlogged countries, a set-aside can materially shorten the wait.
The application itself
Substantial preparation before a single form is filed: documenting the lawful origin of your funds, reviewing the project, then I-526E → residency → I-829 to remove conditions.
File before December 31, 2026. Lock in today's US$800,000.
The 2022 Reform and Integrity Act set the EB-5 minimum at US$800,000 for Targeted Employment Area and rural projects, and wrote in an automatic inflation adjustment every five years. The first one lands on January 1, 2027, and most estimates put the new figure between US$900,000 and US$950,000.
Investors whose investment is made and whose I-526E is filed on or before December 31, 2026, invest at today's minimum. Investors who come after that date can still apply while the program remains authorized through September 2027, but at whatever the adjusted figure turns out to be.
What filing before December 31, 2026, locks in
- You invest at today's US$800,000 minimum, a saving of up to ~US$150,000 against the expected 2027 figure
- Your priority date is fixed before the year-end surge of petitions that every adjustment brings
- Your spouse and children under 21 are included in the same petition, at the same investment
EB-5 preparation is not something you start the week before a deadline. Source-of-funds documentation and petition preparation typically take several weeks when done properly. If a December 31 filing is the goal, the practical window to begin is now.
A summary of current law for information only, not legal advice. Your immigration attorney confirms how the date applies to your case.

Can I still make it by December 31? Speak to the CEO insteadYou may still be able to meet the deadline. Ask about partial filing.
Some USCIS-approved projects accept a partial initial investment, with the balance funded on an agreed schedule. Filed correctly, that can let you submit your I-526E before December 31, lock in your priority date and today's US$800,000 minimum while you complete the funding.
Availability depends on the project and your source-of-funds position. Partial-payment structures must be documented in the petition and confirmed by your immigration attorney; terms vary by project.
- 1
Show the source of your first tranche
We document the US$200,000 and the lawful plan for the balance, the way USCIS expects to see it.
- 2
File before December 31
Counsel files your I-526E and your priority date and investment amount are fixed under today's rules, ahead of the January 2027 adjustment.
- 3
Complete the investment on schedule
You fund the remainder to the agreed timetable while the petition is processed; we track every milestone.
We make a complex process manageable
An EB-5 application involves accountants, lawyers, a project sponsor and USCIS, each focused on their part of the process, none responsible for the whole picture. Quantum Global owns the whole picture, with its own specialist team for each stage.
Eligibility assessment and program guidance
We map the full process in plain language and walk you through the financial, documentary and timeline requirements before you commit to anything.
Source-of-funds documentation, in-house
Our own chartered accountants trace and document the lawful origin of your investment the way USCIS expects. This is where most Requests for Evidence happen, and the part most providers hand back to you.
Independent project due diligence
We assess each regional-center project on your behalf: job-creation cushion, capital stack, exit and track record. We work for the investor, not the developer.
Legal preparation and USCIS filing
Experienced EB-5 immigration counsel prepares and files your I-526E and handles every USCIS touchpoint through to approval.
End-to-end coordination, to the I-829
Consular processing or change of status, the visa interview or I-485, then the I-829 to remove conditions. One point of contact from first call to unconditional residency.
From Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore or London to U.S. permanent residency
EB-5 follows a defined process set by U.S. law and USCIS policy. At every stage, Quantum Global coordinates the people, documents and deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Eligibility review – we walk you through the program and confirm fit, funds and timing
- Source-of-funds file – our accountants trace and document the lawful origin and path of every part of your investment
- Project selection – you choose from independently reviewed, USCIS-approved projects
- I-526E filed with USCIS – counsel files the petition that fixes your priority date, before December 31 where achievable
- Residency – concurrent I-485 if you are in the U.S.; otherwise consular processing in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Singapore or London
- I-829 – conditions removed once job creation is confirmed; we coordinate to the end

What people ask before the call
By the families we advise. We do not take placement fees or commissions from projects or regional centers, so our view on a project is not tied to which one you choose.
Yes. Share the project or sponsor, and the summary you were sent, on your call. We will tell you what we would check and what to ask before investing, with no obligation to work with us.
No. Quantum Global is an advisory firm. We handle eligibility, source-of-funds documentation, project due diligence and coordination, and work with experienced EB-5 immigration attorneys who prepare and file your petition.
The investment is US$800,000 for Targeted Employment Area and rural projects, which covers most regional-center offerings, or US$1,050,000 elsewhere. Administrative, legal and USCIS fees sit on top. We itemize every fee on the first call.
Any lawful, documented source: salary and savings, sale of property or a business, stock or ESOP proceeds, inheritance, or a documented gift or loan. The key word is documented. Tracing and packaging that history is what our source-of-funds team does.
Yes. Many of our clients are. Because visa numbers are currently available for most countries of birth, eligible investors in the U.S. may be able to file the I-485 at the same time as the I-526E, which can bring work and travel authorization while the petition is pending. We confirm what applies to you.
No. You invest and file from where you live. Once the petition is approved you complete the process at the U.S. consulate in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Singapore or London. Our teams in Dubai and India work across your time zone.
No, and any provider who says otherwise should worry you. EB-5 capital must remain at risk and immigration outcomes are decided by USCIS. What we control is the quality of the due diligence and the petition, which is where most avoidable problems come from.
It depends on USCIS processing times, the project category and your country of birth. Every client gets a realistic estimate for their own situation on the call, not a headline number.
