published notice in the Federal Register<\/a> of their intention to increase fees for participants in the EB-5 visa program. The proposed fee hikes will impact Immigrant Investors using the EB-5 visa program to achieve permanent residence through the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe EB-5 visa program requires participants to file two separate petitions. The initial petition, required to achieve conditional permanent residency, is form I-526E. Form I-526E is filed by EB-5 investors immediately after making the required investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second petition, form I-829, is filed ninety days prior to the completion of the EB-5 participant\u2019s two-year sustainment period under their conditional permanent resident status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combined, the proposed fee schedule increase for both petitions will add $13,260 to EB-5 participants\u2019 total costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposed fee schedule is currently in a 60-day comment period that will last until March 6, 2023. The USCIS may still make adjustments to the proposed fee schedule following the comment period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor prospective participants in the EB-5 visa program, now is the time to strongly consider moving forward with a high quality CMB EB-5 project offering. If an EB-5 participant delays filing their petition he or she could experience a substantial increase in the amount necessary to file his or her immigration petitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
