The IEP seems like the best option and a good one. The E-2 would require investments by you and/or other Bangladesh citizens into the US company and then expenditures by the US company. Based on the information provided, I would put the O-1 odds at less than 50%.
- riyakhanna1983 5y agoThanks, Peter! Would you know the processing time for IEP application? Could it be expedited?
- proberts 5y agoThe processing time is completely unknown right so we'll have to wait and see and premium processing isn't available - although where the circumstances are very, very compelling, it's possible to request expedited review (with such requests rarely granted).
- wesammikhail 5y agoHi Peter, Thanks for doing this. As far as I know, the IEP structure has no clear path to permanent residency like some of the other options. Is that your understanding as well or am I missing something here?
- proberts 5y agoIt's a common misconception that a nonimmigrant status somehow leads to a green card or limits the green card options in any way. There is no connection between the two. So someone in IEP "status" could pursue a green card but because IEP is not considered an admission, he or she would have to go the immigrant visa route through a US Consulate abroad rather than the adjustment of status route through USCIS.
