How long must I Remain in the United States Each Year?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A. The first requirement of any investor after they receive the visa at the United States overseas consulate office is to enter into the United States within 180 days of visa issuance from the consulate. The investor must then establish residency in the United States. Evidence of intent to reside includes opening bank accounts, obtaining a driver\u2019s license or social security number, paying state and federal income taxes, renting or buying a home. The United States resident may work overseas if required based upon the nature of the business or profession. For those permanent residents living outside the U.S., we suggest the investor and family re-enter the U.S. no less than once every six months. The longer the investor and family are present in the U.S., the less likely the government is to claim that the investor \u201cabandoned\u201d the United States as a permanent residence \u2013 thereby endangering his green card status. In some cases, investors may seek the issuance of a \u201creentry permit\u201d which allows the Investor permission to remain outside the U.S. for as long as two years without having to reenter the country to maintain permanent resident status.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-4198 petition \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">After the I-526 petition Approval, Can Members of the Family have their Consulate Interview in Different Countries (i.e. children attending school in the United States and the parents in China, etc.)?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2013-05-05T23:08:42+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_1-4198\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-1\" data-target=\"#collapse-1-4198\" href=\"#collapse-1-4198\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">After the I-526 petition Approval, Can Members of the Family have their Consulate Interview in Different Countries (i.e. children attending school in the United States and the parents in China, etc.)?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-1-4198\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_1-4198\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Q.

Regional centers may have a number of different projects. It is possible for a regional center to obtain pre-approval of a specific project. Even if a project is pre-approved, there is an immigration risk as to whether the necessary jobs will be created in order to obtain removal of conditions. There is also financial risk in every investment. For these reasons, it is critical for the investor to choose both the regional center and the regional center project very carefully.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3749","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3749"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5747,"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3749\/revisions\/5747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunbelteb5.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
