Why would obtaining a B1/B2 visa in Mexico affect my chances of securing my EB-5 visa? I am currently living in the United States under the visa waiver program and am developing a company here. My visa waiver expires soon and I will have to leave the United States. If I fly to Mexico and obtain a B1/B2 visa from the consulate so that I may return to the United States, how will that affect my application in the EB-5 process afterwards?

Entering the U.S.on the temporary visa waiver visitor program or on a temporary visitor B-1 or B-2 visa, you will have to have the intent to return to your home country after a short temporary visit to the U.S. If you are entering the US on a temporary visitors visa you cannot have the intent to stay in the US and adjust to permanent residency in the US. If the I-526 petition is approved while you are in the US you will have to leave the US and obtain your conditional permanent residency through US consulate processing.
