Once Form DS-260<\/a> is approved, EB-5 investors will receive a visa from the National Visa Center (NVC). That visa will be inserted into their passport with a date of issuance. The visa is usually valid for up to six months<\/a> after the date of issuance\u2014meaning that foreign nationals have up to six months from the date of issuance of their visa to enter the United States. If, however, their medical examination expires sooner than six months after the date of issuance of the visa, the visa is valid only until the date of expiration of the medical examination.
\nYet having a valid visa does not guarantee immigration or even entry into the United States. When traveling, EB-5 investors should have their passport\u2014with their visa included\u2014and the envelope of sealed official documents given to them after their interview in their home country. Upon arrival at the port of entry (the location through which they enter the United States) all documents should be given to the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent. The agent will then determine if authorized entry will be granted and document an approved length of stay.
