Program<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, the U.S. welcomes global investors. The program issues about 10,000 visas every year. A minimum of $1.05 million must be invested in a venture that creates 10 jobs for U.S. workers. Investments made in targeted employment areas qualify at a reduced level of $800,000. These areas generally include rural regions, localities with high unemployment, or infrastructure-based projects. By meeting the program\u2019s criteria, investors can secure permanent resident status and U.S. green cards for themselves and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proposed_Fee_Reductions\"><\/span><b>Proposed Fee Reductions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has introduced a proposal to lower EB-5 processing fees and help investors save more.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It plans to drop I-526 and I-526E fees from $11,160 to $9,625, offering a 14 percent decrease and $1,535 in savings for each applicant. It also proposes to reduce the I-829 petition fee, which allows investors to remove conditions from their permanent residency, by 17 percent, cutting the cost from $9,525 to $7,860 and saving $1,665 per investor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional centers that pool EB-5 investments for large projects will experience even steeper cuts, with some fees reduced by as much as 61 percent. The I-956 Regional Center Designation fee will fall from $47,695 to $28,895, while amendment fees will plummet from $47,695 to $18,480. Investment project approval forms will decrease to $29,935, and annual statement fees will drop to $2,740.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Technology_Fee_Implementation\"><\/span><b>New Technology Fee Implementation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the overall fee reductions, DHS is introducing a new $95 technology fee for all EB-5 applications. This fee is designed to modernize the USCIS Immigrant Investor Program Office by transitioning from paper-based processing to electronic filing systems. The technology charge will be included in all petition fees and aims to enhance processing efficiency and improve the overall investor experience.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Program_Changes\"><\/span><b>Additional Program Changes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proposed regulation creates a new Form I-527 specifically for investors whose Regional Center was prohibited or dismissed, particularly those who filed prior to March 2022 and are awaiting decisions. The rule also codifies fees and penalties associated with the EB-5 Integrity Fund and clarifies requirements for children and spouses of alien investors who are not listed on the primary investor&#8217;s Form I-829.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DHS states that the fee adjustments better reflect the actual cost of processing EB-5 applications and align with operational needs under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. The proposal also establishes new processing time goals, aiming to adjudicate most regional center petitions within 240 days and new regional center designations within 180 days.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_on_Annual_Program_Volume\"><\/span><b>Impact on Annual Program Volume<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proposed fee schedule would impact approximately 11,260 EB-5 program form filings annually, decreasing overall form fees by about 14.7 percent. This move comes at a time when most other immigration fees are rising, making the EB-5 fee reductions particularly noteworthy for prospective investors. The reductions also followed just 18 months after USCIS implemented massive fee increases of up to 204 percent, making this policy reversal both unexpected and significant for the immigration investment community.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proposed rule is open for public comment for 60 days following its Federal Register publication. If finalized, the new fee structure could enhance the program&#8217;s accessibility and attractiveness to foreign investors while maintaining program integrity through modernized processing systems.\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those pursuing EB-5 investment opportunities can start their journey with convenient <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/india-to-usa-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India to USA flights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> available at competitive fares.
