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).
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.

If the investors and their families wish to become U.S. citizens,
they must adhere to the five (5) year
