Following the Investment Process, ACFI-RC will immediately
assist to initiate the immigration procedure. ACFI does not
handle visa cases internally, but will work closely with the
accredited investor legal representative to carefully prepare
documentation. ACFI-RC strongly recommends professional legal
services for the initial petition
(I-526).
It is important for approved investors to be familiar with all
the recent requirements and timelines regarding admission to
the United States and application for removal of conditions
(I-829 form). Please refer to the procedure charts provided in
this section to learn more.
Foreign investors may obtain conditional or permanent resident
status through investment in Alabama upon satisfaction of
USCIS, DHS, and ACFI-RC requirements. For step-by-step
immigration procedures please review the charts below.
Note:
ACFI-RC makes no guaranties of obtaining conditional or
permanent resident status.

Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs or green card
holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after
travel of one year or more. Re-entry permits are generally
valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry
permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving
the U.S. If an LPR remains outside the United States for more
than one year, a presumption is created that the LPR has
‘abandoned’ his/her lawful permanent resident status.
Conditional residents (two-year green card
holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after
travel of one year or more. For conditional residents returning
to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years
from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit or until the
date the conditional resident must apply for the removal of
conditions, whichever comes first. The conditional resident
should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.
Applicants for adjustment of status use re-entry permits to
re-enter the U.S. after travel of less than a year --
preferably less than six months.
