Does the applicant need to physically live in the United States for the entire EB-5 process? My cousin is interested in the EB-5 program to get U.S. citizenship, but he still lives in Iraq. He has a business there that he can leave more than a few times a year.

The investor may remain in Iraq while their I-526 petition is pending. If he so wishes he may visit the U.S. during the pendency of the EB-5 process which may be the adjudication of the I-526 petition. Once the I-526 petition is approved the investor and family members , if any, can the start the process of U.S. consulate processing to obtain the conditional permanent residency visas. Please not the investor has to have permanent residency for five years before the investor or permanent resident can apply for U.S. citizenship.
