I hold a valid B1/B2 visa and have planned to invest in a Gas Station in California. The Gas Station i am investing in does not fall under EB5 category as it is a running business. Can i invest on B1/B2 visa and get all the relevant documents like tax id etc? Can i stay in US on B1/B2 visa and manage my business ? Later on if i get an opportunity to invest in an EB5 eligible project, can i sell this project and invest the funds into an eligible EB5 project and obtain PR ?

First, existing business can qualify for the EB5 program if it can be shown it is a "troubled" business.

Working while in the US on a Business Visitor visa is very limited, and may result in violation of the terms of that visa, which could have far-reaching US Immigration consequences.

Planning for your investment and immigration goals is best served by the assistance of a qualified, experienced EB5 attorney, like those at our law firm.
