The EB-5 visa consulate interview appointment is booked after the I-526 approval and submission of all the documents with the National Visa Center.
It is advisable to consult a professional, ideally your immigration attorney who helped you file the I-526 petition, to prepare for the interview. It is a generic interview with no fixed template or set of questions.
Topics for Questions
Some general topics of questions include-
- Basic details of your investment
- If you have invested in a Regional Center, then details of the project, including its size, location, your planned exit strategy.
- Questions about source of your investment funds, how you acquired them, and related queries.
- Personal information including details of your employment history, police records, dependents, family connections etc.
Be ready for an explanation if there is a possibility of inadmissibility into the USA.
You are expected to be familiar with your EB-5 petition and all related details. Hence, you should go through the I-526 petition along with all the documents initially submitted with it to be well prepared for the interview.
