Can the EB-5 Visa benefit a student who wants to stay and study in the USA?
People from all around the world come to the United States to pursue their education. The students visa (F-1) allows foreign citizens to enter the United States for the purpose of pursuing a degree as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program.
An F-1 is a non-immigrant visa that requires a student to maintain a residence abroad and also demonstrate sufficient funds available for self-support during the entire course of study. On top of that you have to be able to pay high tuition costs.
No doubt, an EB-5 visa can be a great benefit to any student who wants to stay in the United States and study. The biggest difference for students studying on an EB-5 visa compared to students studying on the more common F1 or M1 visas is the ability to work outside of campus while in school and to find employment in the United States following graduation without requiring sponsorship for a work visa from the employer. This enables them to develop their careers and eventually work permanently in the United States.
An EB-5 visa also enables foreign students to save money on tuition. In many US colleges and universities the tuition fees for permanent residents are lower than for international students. Obtaining an EB-5 Visa allows you to receive a Lawful Permanent Resident status in the United States.
Keep in mind though, for the children of EB-5 investors to receive these benefits, the EB-5 investment must be made before the student turns 21 in order to still be eligible.
