Each has its own arithmetic. EB-5 asks $800,000 in a targeted employment area or $1,050,000 elsewhere plus 10 jobs. The H-1B cap is 65,000 visas a year plus 20,000 reserved for U.S. master's degrees. A family sponsor must show income at 125% of the federal poverty guidelines on Form I-864. Naturalization requires 5 years as a permanent resident, or 3 if married to a U.S. citizen.
Timelines depend on the category and on your country of birth. A marriage-based green card for the spouse of a U.S. citizen commonly runs 12 to 24 months. Naturalization often runs 8 to 14 months. Employment petitions can be decided in 15 business days with premium processing, but the green card still waits for a visa number — which is why applicants born in India or China can wait years longer in the same category.
A Request for Evidence allows up to 87 days from the date on the notice and a Notice of Intent to Deny usually 30 — neither can be extended. Conditions on a green card are removed by filing Form I-751 in the 90 days before the card expires. A change of address during a pending case is reported on Form AR-11 within 10 days.
