US Golden Visa Renewal & Extension
The EB‑5 visa, also known as the U.S. Golden Visa, initially grants a conditional green card valid for two years. Before it expires, they must file Form I-829 within 90 days of the expiration date to remove conditions and transition to permanent residency. If approved, they gain lawful permanent residence with a 10-year green card, which must be renewed every decade. Migrate World supports clients throughout this transition—ensuring timely filings, complete documentation, and full compliance with USCIS requirements.
