public schools in this school district,” she said. “It only
takes us 40 minutes to drive to Manhattan. The air is
fresh and our house is cozy. I also have several friends
living in the same area.”
She purchased the house while
patiently waiting for news about
her EB-5 application. Her courage
paid off. In February of 2012, only
16 months after she filed the
I-526 petition, her family received
their conditional green cards and

Looking back at her experience from an EB-5 investor
to a green card holder, she realizes she is one of the
blessed ones.
“I feel I am very lucky,” she said. “I didn’t have to wait
