Thursday, May 30, 2024 Residents of the UAE and expats from neighboring GCC countries can now take advantage of priority processing for their United States EB-5 Golden Visas. The recent reforms to the program, including the introduction of a new reserved visa category, are especially beneficial for Indian nationals who have historically faced longer wait times due to high application numbers from India and other regional nationalities. Educational Benefits: The primary attraction of the EB-5 Golden Visa among expats in Dubai, Doha, and other GCC regions is the substantial educational benefits it unlocks for families.
Over the past decade, an increasing number of families from the GCC have been sending their children to the US for education. Once families are approved through this program, they gain access to free education in public schools from Kindergarten to the final year of high school. This eliminates significant out-of-pocket expenses for parents.
University Admissions: For higher education, children of EB-5 visa holders are considered US persons rather than international students. This status not only improves their acceptance rates at US universities but also allows them to benefit from lower tuition fees. Moreover, US national policies ensure access to education regardless of the parents’ financial capabilities, allowing children to receive government funds covering tuition, housing, books, transportation, and other necessities.
