Hyderabad: The Law Offices of Nadadur S. Kumar is set to host an exclusive seminar on the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in Hyderabad on Monday, February 9th, 2026. This in-person event is designed to offer prospective investors, professionals, and families a clear understanding of the EB-5 visa process, regulatory landscape, and strategic opportunities to pursue U.S. permanent residency through investment.
Mr. Nadadur S. Kumar, a prominent U.S. immigration attorney with over 30 years of experience, will lead the session. He will walk attendees through critical aspects of the EB-5 program, including current investment thresholds ($800,000 for Targeted Employment Areas; $1,050,000 for standard projects), job creation mandates, the difference between direct and regional centre investments, and recent regulatory developments impacting Indian applicants. Special focus will be given to the current visa bulletin environment, set-aside category advantages, and the strategic importance of filing before September 30, 2026, the grandfathering deadline that protects current investment thresholds and program certainties.
“In today’s global climate, families are looking for long-term solutions that offer security, flexibility, and genuine permanence,” said Mr. Nadadur S. Kumar. “The EB-5 visa remains one of the most direct and reliable pathways to U.S. permanent residency, not only for investors, but for their spouses and children as well. However, 2026 presents a unique window of opportunity. With reserved set-aside categories (rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure projects) remaining current worldwide, the January 2026 Visa Bulletin showing significant advancement for Indian applicants, and the September 2026 grandfathering deadline fast approaching, families who act now can secure substantial advantages. Additionally, investment thresholds are set to increase in January 2027 due to inflation adjustments, making 2026 a critical year. Our goal is to equip investors with the clarity and strategic information needed to make well-informed decisions with confidence.”
In recent years, interest in the EB-5 visa from Indian investors has grown significantly, driven by uncertainties around student visas, H-1B backlogs, lengthy green card timelines through traditional employment-based routes, and the emerging Gold Card program. The seminar comes at a time when many high-net-worth individuals and families are seeking more reliable pathways to U.S. permanent residency. Financial advisors, wealth managers, and legal professionals who work with clients interested in U.S. immigration are also encouraged to attend.
