他給我看了綠卡照片,Category下麵的確是I-51,就是投資移民EB5那種,有效期是2年。
-OK. I-51 is the conditional green card category (code) which is different from the permanent green card category. So, after he gets the permanent green card, the category will be changed to E51.
我不明白的問題是:他去掉條件後的綠卡Category是I-51還是EB-5,他說是EB-5,我認為是I-51。
-EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, and EB-5 are the immigrant petition category, not green card category. A person needs to be the benefiicary of an approved immigrant petition (e.g, EB-5 in his case), then that person can get the green card. He was the beneficary of the approved EB-5 petition, then he got the conditional green card (I-51).
So, I-51 will not become EB-5 category.
