USCIS more than doubles EB-5 investor visa filing fees

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services finalised a rule to more than double filing fees for the EB-5 immigrant investor visa programme, effective November 30, 2026.

Standalone investor petition fees for Form I-526 will rise from $3,675 to $7,615, while regional-centre initial filings will increase to $44,115.

The EB-5 programme grants Green Cards to foreign investors who invest a minimum of $800,000 to $1.05 million and create 10 full-time jobs for American workers.
