I-526申請獲批後，您和您的家人可在所居住國家的美國(房源)大使館進行領事館移民簽證程序或者提交身份調整申請（I-485表格）以獲得有條件的綠卡。I-485身份調整若I-526申請獲批時您已在美國境內，您可提交I-485表格申請將您非移民身份調整到永久居民身份。與其他移民類別不同，EB-5移民投資者不可同時提交I-485與I-526申請。I-485表格是一份四頁的申請表，提交時須交申請費985美元（再加生物測定費85美元）。您須在表格裡附上準確的生物信息供USCIS（移民局）評定您是否有獲得永久居民身份的資格。須與I-485表格一同提交的文件有：出生證、結婚證和/或離婚證（如有）、兩張照片及護照複印件。此外，您還須通過由USCIS認可的醫師進行的體檢及生物測定。提交身份調整的申請後，您將擁有一份回美證與工作許可證，在申請結果未出之前，您可持這些文件在美國境內逗留、旅行及工作。USCIS會在6至12個月內處理大部分的I-485申請，除因重要原因拒絕（如刑事犯罪記錄、傳染病或嚴重違反移民法）外，審批結果一般爲通過。身份調整申請獲批後，您即獲得了有條件的永久居民身份，即您擁有兩年期的有條件的綠卡，可在美國境內合法逗留。申請通過後21至24個月內無需再辦理其他手續，通過後21個月至24個月期間須提交I-829申請解除有條件的永久居民身份，以獲得爲期十年的無條件的永久居民身份。領事館移民簽證程序（廣領館面試）另一方面，若I-526申請獲批時您不在美國境內，則您須向您所在國家的美國領事館申請獲得移民簽證，即進行領事館移民簽證程序。這種情況下，I-526申請獲批後，USCIS將會把您的申請轉給NVC（國家簽證中心），NVC會聯繫您。進行領事館移民簽證程序時，您須先交申請費並提交網上申請表、DS-260及其他證明支持文件。DS-260包括兩部分，2013年之前須提交的是DS-230文件。與身份調整申請一樣，DS-260申請須含生物信息，申請表的第一部分由您填寫並提交，第二部分須在美國領事館或大使館官員的見證下填寫。進行DS-260面試時您可能需要帶齊諸如結婚證、出生證及護照等文件。面試之後，申請纔算完成，並由相關人士在申請表格上簽字。將和您一起赴美成爲永久居民的家人每位均需提交單獨的DS-260申請表。領事館移民簽證程序中的申請獲批後，您將獲得有效期爲六個月的移民簽證，您須在該簽證過期前進入美國境內。持移民簽證進入美國境內時，入境處的移民局官員會在您的護照上蓋章，您即獲得有條件的永久居民身份（如同通過身份調整獲得的身份）並於彼時成爲有條件的永久居民。與身份調整申請一樣，您須於進入美國境內2年期滿之前的90日內提交I-829申請。EB5Sir注：在EB-5簽證出現排期之後，I-485身份調整和廣領館面試，同等情況下，都需等待EB-5簽證，並無差別。原文作者：Vaughan de Kirby律師，原文出處：www.visaanswer.com。My I-526 Petition Was Approved, Now What?Each immigrant investor must file a Form I-526 petition to establish his or her eligibility for classification as an EB-5 immigrant investor. But many EB-5 immigrant investors may have questions regarding what to do after their I-526 petition is approved.Once your I-526 petition is approved, you and your family members may take either "consular processing" at the United States Embassy located in your country of residence, or file I-485 adjustment application for conditional green cards. I-485 Adjustment of StatusIf you are already in the United States when your I-526 petition is approved, you may file Form I-485 to apply to adjust your status from non-immigrant status to that of a permanent resident. Unlike other immigrant categories, EB-5 investors may not concurrently file their I-485 with their I-526. Form I-485 is a four-page application that requires payment of a fee of $985 (plus an $85 biometric fee). On the form, you will need to disclose certain biographical information so that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can determine if your are eligible for permanent residency. You will need to submit several documents with your Form I-485, including: a birth certificate, marriage certificate and/or divorce decree if applicable, two conforming photographs of yourself, and a copy of your passport. You will also be required to pass a medical examination conducted by a USCIS approved civil surgeon, as well as a biometrics screening.Once your adjustment of status is filed, you will be provided with an advance parole travel document and a work authorization. These documents enable you to remain in the United States, travel, and work while your adjustment of status application is pending. USCIS processes most I-485 applications in 6 to 12 months and generally result in approval unless there is a serious reason for denial (such as certain criminal convictions, certain communicable diseases, or serious immigration law violations). If your adjustment of status application is approved, you immediately become a conditional permanent resident in the United States. This is your two-year conditional green card granting you legal residence in the United States. Nothing more needs to be done until between twenty-one and twenty-four months after the approval, at which time the I-829 petition for removal of the condition from the conditional resident status must be filed in order to receive the full ten-year unconditional permanent residence.Consular ProcessingOn the other hand, if you are outside the United States when your I-526 petition is approved, you will need to apply to obtain your immigrant visa through a US consulate in your home country. This is referred to as “consular processing.”In this case, once your I-526 petition is approved, USCIS will forward your case file to the National Visa Center and you will be contacted. The process starts with your payment of the application fees and your submission of the online application form, DS-260, and supporting evidence. The application form DS-260, is two parts. This form replaced the paper DS-230 in 2013.Like the adjustment of status application, the DS-260 application collects standard biographical information. You will complete and submit the first part of the application yourself. The second part of the application is completed in the presence of a consular officer at the U.S. consulate or embassy. You will likely be required to bring documentation, such as marriage certificates, birth certificates and passports to your DS-260 interview. The application is completed and signed after the interview has been conducted. Separate DS-260 applications will need to be filed for each family member who will accompany you to the United States to become permanent residents.Upon approval at your consular processing appointment, you will receive an immigrant visa that is valid for six months. You must enter the United States before that six-month visa expires. When you enter the United States with the immigrant visa, at the port of entry, the immigration officer will stamp your passport, which will immediately grant you conditional permanent residence (the same status you would have achieved if you were to undergo adjustment of status processing). You will immediately become a conditional permanent resident at that time.As with adjustment of status, you will need to file a form I-829 petition within the 90-day period immediately preceding the two-year anniversary of your admission to the United States.
