On Sunday, January 26, 2025, Dubai residents have an exclusive opportunity to explore a streamlined route to obtaining a United States Green Card during a seminar hosted by a team of expert U.S. immigration lawyers .
Why Attend?
This seminar offers valuable insights into the EB-5 program, a reliable pathway enabling foreign nationals to secure U.S. residency and Green Cards through investment in qualifying U.S. projects. By committing $800,000 to a U.S. government-approved Real estate project - such as a residential complex or hotel development - investors can not only obtain residency but also pave the way to U.S. citizenship for themselves and their families, including spouses and children under 21.
With a Green Card, EB-5 investors and their family members gain the freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in the U.S., free from the limitations associated with other visa categories like the F-1 or H-1B. "As obtaining H-1B visas becomes increasingly challenging and other visa categories remain uncertain in the new Trump administration, the EB-5 program has gained prominence as a more secure and flexible solution," explains Shai Zamanian, Legal Director of The American Legal Center .
Attendees will have the chance to understand the implications of Trump's presidency on the EB-5 program. Many people mistakenly believe that U.S. immigration opportunities will cease under Trump's second term, but this is not the case. While President Trump has proposed policies such as mass deportations of undocumented immigrants and completing the border wall started during his first term, he has consistently supported legal immigration. Notably, before his presidency, Trump-affiliated companies leveraged the EB-5 program to fund real estate projects, including the Trump Bay Street development in New Jersey, which raised $50 million from EB-5 investors. Given his personal involvement in EB-5 projects and the program's proven ability to drive economic growth and create jobs, the EB-5 program remains a solid pathway to U.S. residency, regardless of political changes.
As visa categories like H-1B and family reunification become increasingly difficult to obtain, and with Trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship, opportunities for securing a U.S. Green Card are becoming more limited. In this restrictive climate, the EB-5 program emerges as a reliable and strategic option. By investing in this regulated and stable pathway, prospective immigrants can secure U.S. residency without being affected by shifting policies tied to other visa categories.
Who Should Attend?
* Parents with school-aged children
* Aspiring students considering U.S. institutions
* Students currently enrolled in U.S. institutions on an F-1 visa
* Professionals looking to join the U.S. workforce through the H-1B visa
* H-1B visa holders currently working in the U.S.
* Individuals wishing to pursue entrepreneurial ventures in America
* Prospective EB-5 investors concerned about potential shifts in immigration policy under another Trump presidency

Key 2025 Updates for EB-5 Investors
The January 2025 Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State (DOS) warns of a looming backlog in the EB-5 program's set-aside categories. The DOS and USCIS have reported a surge in I-526E petitions, showing significantly heightened demand for reserved visa categories such as rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure projects, created under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. To manage this demand, the DOS may soon implement Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates, potentially causing processing delays even for approved petitions. As such, prospective EB-5 investors, especially those of Indian and Chinese nationalities, are urged to act swiftly.
For EB-5 investors, the message is clear: time is of the essence. Filing now can secure your place in the queue before additional cut-off dates are introduced. The American Legal Center's experienced team of U.S. licensed attorneys specializes in navigating these evolving conditions, ensuring your application remains ahead of any potential delays. You can learn more about how you can stay ahead of the curve by attending the seminar.
