The employer-sponsored PERM green card process can take 2–7+ years, especially for applicants from India or China due to backlogs. 

By contrast, EB-5 offers a more predictable timeline. You can apply immediately, stay in control of your process, and potentially secure your green card in 1.5–2.5 years if no visa backlog exists for your country. 

Takeaway: EB-5 requires capital but offers speed, independence, and control—making it ideal for those ready to invest in their future.
