Can I transfer my EB-5 process to another country?

No. The EB-5 is an immigration program exclusive to the United States, and the entire process is tied to an investment made in a project located on American soil. For this reason, there is no possibility of transferring an EB-5 process to another country.

Eligibility for the program arises precisely from the investment in the United States and from meeting the requirements defined by U.S. immigration authorities. These elements cannot be reused as if they were portable to another destination.

If your goal has shifted to immigrating to another country, the path forward is to start a new process according to the programs and criteria of that destination. Each country has its own rules, requirements, and opportunities for investors, which must be evaluated separately.

Since each jurisdiction has specific regulations, it is worth checking the updated rules on each country’s official source and seeking specialized guidance before making decisions about your immigration project.
