USCIS To Adjust EB-5 Program Filing Fees
Effective October 2, 2020, USCIS will adjust most of their immigration request fees. Here’s how that affects EB-5 Program filing fees.
In a news statement released by USCIS, this adjustment comes after a biennial fee review that determined that there was a need to increase fees to recover costs for services and operations. USCIS is 97% funded by these immigration fees and they state that without this adjustment that they would be underfunded by roughly $1 billion yearly.
According to USCIS, the following EB-5 related fees will be adjusted:
| Immigration Benefit Request | Current Fee | Final Fee | Change ($) | Percentage Change |
| I-526 Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor | $3,675 | $4,010 | $335 | 9% |
| I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence | $1,140 | $1,130 | ($10) | -1% |
| Biometrics Services | $85 | $30 | ($55) | -65% |
| I-829 Petition by Investor To Remove Conditions | $3,750 | $3,900 | $150 | 4% |
| I-924 Application for Regional center Designation Under the Immigrant Investor Program | $17,795 | $17,795 | $0 | 0% |
| I-924A Annual Certification of Regional Center | $3,035 | $4,465 | $1,430 | 47% |
For prospective EB-5 investors, the I-526 Petition fees are set to increase by 9% and the I-829 fees by 4%. For regional centers, the I-924 application fee (the most expensive fee at USCIS) will remain the same, but the I-924A fee is set to increase by a significant 47%.
