Second green card application through consuling process

[butterflyeffect 0]

Dear all,

I post this thread in some other category before. But I am not sure if that was right forums. So I reposted it here. I need some advice. Has anyone successfuly re-applied for green card based on eb5 after they surrender their previous green card in their own will? let me know about your story.

I came to the US on F1 in 2002 and married my ex wife after I completed my studies. My AOS was successful even though our AOS interview was not so smooth due to weak marriage proof. I received my conditional green card and the marriage broke apart after 13 months due to several marriage issues encountered at young ages, financial, maturity, lifestyle arrangement etc. We both were in our 20s. My US citizen spouse married me knowing I came from the rich overseas family and did not want to work. After our divorce, I moved back home and signed the I407 form to surrender my card. I moved back because I wanted to spend my times with aging parents after that abusive marriage. I was in need of familiy support so staying in the US without job and family was not my intention.

After these years, I took advantage of my country's economic prosperity and became a successful businessman with excess equity and cash. I plan to immigrate on EB5 since I was approached with an investment company from US who does EB5 immgrantion. I want to reconsider re-application of green card but I am not so sure if my immigration history will become an issue when it comes up to the consuling process in my home country. I am a Macao citizen. After divorce, my ex started dating an ex convict who attemptted to threaten me by claiming that I married for fraud for their financial motive. They claimed they wanted to report me back then. But their attempt was not successful since I really rather went home. I have recently checked the 1800 number to verify that there was not any notice to appear NTA records nor I was in any removal preceeding. My alien number did not match any record. This is a good sign.

But I wonder if immigration officer can deny me a visa based on approval I526 on grounds of marriage fraud assuming he recieve any letter from my ex's or third party's fraud allegation. My final divorce decree stated that "we ended with irreconcilable difference." And I was never deported or proven guilty of such allegation. Please let me know if any of you had similar experience.

peace

**** Topic moved from embassy to Work Visa forum as this fits the question best, and several identical topics removed. *****

If you're moving with an EB5, you certainly can afford a lawyer to advise you.

However, my personal opinion is that you should have no problem if everything is what you say.

since you stated you willingly surrendered your GC etc then I dnt see why you should have a problem. as the previous post said employment visas go with company's attorney( who should know what they are doing. I came in through an employment visa 5years ago and agency's attorney handled everything( did not cost me a dime except fees paid to USCIS and NVC. so be open to them and hear what they say unless you sense they do not know what they are doing.

EB5 is an investment visa, not employment.

But there will be a Lawyer involved.

I am guessing you are using a lawyer for your EB5 - prob he could give you the best options, but most likely it seems you should be ok.
