In short – NO – filing an I-526E application does not grant you the right to reside in the United States. The I-526E petition is the first step in the EB-5 immigration process, but it does not provide immigration benefits or status right away. However, if you already reside in the US with another type of nonimmigrant visa, you can file for adjustment of status concurrently with the I-526E which could grant you an EAD and AP within a few months of filing. However, for those outside the U.S., an I-526E approval must be obtained to move on to the next step which is the consular process and then eventually enter the US as a conditional resident. This is a very important process which should be done alongside a reputable immigration attorney.
