EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Centers
ALERT: The Department of Homeland Security has published a Federal Register notice providing information related to the EB-5 Integrity Fund. USCIS will use the EB-5 Integrity Fund primarily to administer the EB-5 Regional Center Program, as required by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. Starting Mar. 2, 2023, we will collect an annual fee from each designated regional center to finance the EB-5 Integrity Fund. Read more here: USCIS to Start Collecting Fee for EB-5 Integrity Fund.
ALERT: Beginning Sept. 1, 2022, we will no longer accept a single, combined fee payment when an applicant or petitioner files Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Standalone Investor, or Form I-526E, Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor, together with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form 131, Application for Travel Document, or Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Petitioners may combine the fee payment for Forms I-485, I-131, and I-765. However, petitioners must send a separate fee payment for Form I-526 or Form I-526E.
If a petitioner or applicant submits a single, combined fee payment for Forms I-526 or I-526E and the other forms, USCIS will reject the forms for improper fee payment and return the fee.
An EB-5 regional center is an economic unit, public or private, in the United States, involved with promoting economic growth. We designate regional centers for participation in the Immigrant Investor Program.
