[Speaker A]: Yo, yo, what's up, bro? [Speaker B]: I'm getting some water. Do you need some water? How's it going? [Speaker A]: Nice, nice. I just returned yesterday chilling coffee. [Speaker B]: Awesome. [Speaker A]: Yeah, bro, it was. Yeah, once in a lifetime type. Very comparable to the solar eclipse. [Speaker B]: Oh, dang. [Speaker A]: Yeah, Insane. But yeah, I just wanted to ask about Wesley. We should catch up. You tell me. [Speaker B]: Last two, three months though, I have no idea where my time went. [Speaker A]: I mean, we can catch up for dinner. Just have a dinner for an hour. [Speaker B]: Oh, yeah, let's do that. I was meeting another friend yesterday. She was throwing a party out and I was seeing her after six months. So I was like, oh, wow. Like I haven't met you in six months. [Speaker A]: Oh, oh, one second. Hello. [Speaker B]: Hello, Hello, Hello. [Speaker A]: Sorry, sorry. Yeah, tell me bro. It's weak. [Speaker B]: Sure they top at far Wednesday, Thursday, I'm out both days dinner. Awesome. Otherwise I think Friday, Saturday actually. I think Ashley's uncle is visiting. [Speaker A]: Yeah, bro. Adulting and adulting bro. His responsibilities. [Speaker B]: Basically. I got an email in my work email, but generally spam email types. This email caught my eye because it was like mistral. AI is organizing some like AI dinner or whatever for like people from the finance industry. [Speaker A]: Everyone's doing that now. [Speaker B]: There's like 20, 25 people at some like really nice club. [Speaker A]: Okay. [Speaker B]: Like club has been like a private club type of place. Not the disco clubs, but disco club. What have I a boomer? So anyway, I was like, sure, why not? Yeah, you know, free dinner. [Speaker A]: Yeah, tell me how it is. I feel like OpenAI and Anthropic are also hosting. You can also go to those abidak. They've not released anything, but they might anyway. And yeah, okay. [Speaker B]: He can come over. [Speaker A]: Just casual, bro. Seriously, I like to meet him. [Speaker B]: Like basically either way is good. Yeah, good. [Speaker A]: Was way thinking of EB5. Basically her parents eventually finally want to move to the US So through they want to get her a green card and then get themselves wingard. [Speaker B]: That makes sense. [Speaker A]: So I mean we've done preliminary research and also like talked about us getting married. Because of that, like if she does. [Speaker B]: Apply, basically I can tell you my research. So just go along with that. [Speaker A]: Okay. So. [Speaker B]: That'S where my knowledge ends. [Speaker A]: So. [Speaker B]: Part one is it. It is probably better to file after you're married. Yeah, that I found much later. But filing is great. There are two, three categories that are current right now. You should do those asap. I think this is my recommendation to see categories. [Speaker A]: What do you mean? [Speaker B]: So green card. EB5 has two, three categories which are Current. The rest are not current. [Speaker A]: Okay. [Speaker B]: Don't even think about the non current ones. It is an extremely long rabbit hole. Okay. It'll be a black hole where you throw your money and nothing will happen. [Speaker A]: Okay. Okay. [Speaker B]: So. [Speaker A]: Okay. Yeah. Look at the categories. Yeah. And the marriage thing. We found like there are two places, like two points of time which are beneficial. Like versus before the i5 8 joby 58 to like the first application. And then one is like before you get your conditional green card. [Speaker B]: Before you get it? [Speaker A]: Yeah. [Speaker B]: Why is that? [Speaker A]: I mean, in both cases you will. Your spouse will get the green card directly without having to go through the like family immigration process. [Speaker B]: Wait, really? Like, wait, so do you. But if you have an active application, so what? What? Wait. Because it's. If it's current, then you can do it because then you just file concurrently. [Speaker A]: What do you mean? What is current? [Speaker B]: That's what I'm saying. There are some current green cards, so you should file for those. [Speaker A]: Yeah, no, no, that's what I'm saying. So let's say what is the form? Can you remind me? I529 or so you file all these. [Speaker B]: Things together basically in the current ones. [Speaker A]: Okay. [Speaker B]: So then you don't get a separate opportunity to do the other thing, I think. [Speaker A]: Oh, you're saying conditional green card. Oh, okay. The way I saw it was like a sequential process. [Speaker B]: So it's a sequential process in the non current ones. [Speaker A]: Oh. [Speaker B]: So this is the benefit of this current category that you can just immediately do it. [Speaker A]: Okay, okay, okay, I see. [Speaker B]: Whatever you find out, just let me know because. [Speaker A]: You'Ve already filed. So you've already filed for both things together. Right? Concurrently. Okay. [Speaker B]: But I don't bring it up too. [Speaker A]: Okay. And, and yeah. And like. Yeah. Who did you go with? You said you had some family thing. [Speaker B]: Yeah, I ended up doing just like some general research on all these things. And. [Speaker A]: So family vala is like, it's it. [Speaker B]: So there are two options, right? Like you can either start your own business or you can do the. What's it called? The regional center. [Speaker A]: Right. [Speaker B]: I think regional center is orders of magnitude easier in general. [Speaker A]: Right. [Speaker B]: Unless you really want to officially start a business and do things right. It's a separate headache, but you can do it. Like usually I've heard people like one of my colleagues was trying to would think about like buying a Taco Bell or something and getting a company to manage it. [Speaker A]: Okay, but regional center. You started a business. You started a business. Oh, okay. So. But doesn't the business have to get approved by. For the CB5 of like, valid like it should be. It's valid only if, like, that business is approved and has certain quality. [Speaker B]: No, no, it's a contract filing. Just like everything. Do. Do you do everything together? [Speaker A]: Okay. And if you don't mind me asking, how did you choose the business? Like, isn't this like a much more risky endeavor? [Speaker B]: Complicated story. You'll have to pick what is best. Like if Meha is considering if her family has contacts. [Speaker A]: Yeah. [Speaker B]: In the U.S. right. So then there'll be an option of like, if one of our contact family friends is like running a business or a relative is running a business. [Speaker A]: Yeah. [Speaker B]: And they want to like, you know, franchise out or something. So then she can ask them. [Speaker A]: Okay. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Would be the easiest and most like, trustworthy route. But out of like, your. [Speaker B]: Yeah. Because if. If she has some like, let's say relative who has a business, I think that will be a good direction to go in. But have to be a close relative, obviously. [Speaker A]: Right, right. [Speaker B]: And then if otherwise regional center. [Speaker A]: Okay. And. And like, if. Let's say business here. Yeah. We also do the filing of the EB5 approval stuff concurrently. Right. For the business. Because it's not everything. [Speaker B]: It's just. There's no like, approval for the business. From what I know. But, like, the specifics, even I don't know. [Speaker A]: Like. [Speaker B]: Okay, okay. [Speaker A]: Research is wrong. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And general regional centers. Did any of them, like, any. Any of them stand out? This looks most trustworthy and like, not really. [Speaker B]: I didn't do like a full research on the regional centers. Like one my company lawyers, Ragomen, were recommending some, but I didn't bother to dig too much into it. If you want, I can like, pull up. I. I'm sure they sent me some PDFs. [Speaker A]: Recommendation. [Speaker B]: But basically the idea was that Frago man was partnering with those businesses. [Speaker A]: So it was like, makes sense. [Speaker B]: So I'm sure, like, if you find a lawyer, they will recommend some others. And. Yeah, you know, there's quite a lot of them. [Speaker A]: Right. And Frago Man. And how did this conversation come up with the company lawyers? I'm just wondering if I should also bring it up with my. [Speaker B]: Oh, no. Like, some of my colleagues were having this conversation, so I just sat in the conversation. That's how I know most of these things. [Speaker A]: But why were they having conversations with the company? [Speaker B]: They were trying to file EB5. [Speaker A]: But I mean, we would. [Speaker B]: They would have paid separately to file. Yeah. My Fragavan had a, you know, preferred rate or whatever. [Speaker A]: Okay, Makes sense. [Speaker B]: So that was the deal. [Speaker A]: Okay. Cold. Anything else I should know? Which, like, it might be more sensible to like get married first and then do the process? [Speaker B]: Yeah. [Speaker A]: That is a separate, like, commitment altogether. And then this huge commitment of like staying and living in the U.S. [Speaker B]: That one, obviously. [Speaker A]: Yeah. Huge commitments. I feel like, like, honestly, my opinion right now is the next five to ten years might be very tumultuous. In the US in the US in the world. Global scale. I feel like disruptions. [Speaker B]: I mean, you can't hedge everything. [Speaker A]: Yeah. Yeah. I mean her argument to that is like, us is better place to be than India. [Speaker B]: So I also tend to agree. [Speaker A]: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Or we can also like, if you. We can also meet at a common place. But yeah, text. [Speaker B]: Either way. Let's text tomorrow. [Speaker A]: Yeah, I'll text you at like 7pm sure. See you. [Speaker B]: Awesome. Bye. [Speaker A]: Bye. Bye.
