The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has increased EB-5 visa filing fees, making one of the most popular investment-based immigration routes more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is the US EB-5 Investor Visa Programme?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EB-5 visa programme is a US immigration route that allows foreign investors and their immediate family members to apply for permanent residency by making a qualifying investment in the American economy. The programme was introduced to encourage foreign investment and create employment opportunities for American workers. Under the EB-5 programme, eligible investors can apply for a conditional permanent resident status (conditional Green Card) if they meet the investment and job creation requirements. The EB-5 programme allows the investor and eligible family members to apply for permanent residency, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spouse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eligible children\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>EB-5 Investment Requirements Remain Unchanged<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although USCIS has increased application fees, the main investment requirements under the EB-5 programme remain the same. Applicants must invest:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 1.05 million in a qualifying US business, or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or eligible infrastructure project<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investment must also help create at least 10 full-time jobs for US workers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting these conditions is essential for EB-5 approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>New EB-5 Visa Fees: What Has Changed?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest USCIS rule increases several EB-5-related filing charges. The revised EB-5 visa fees will come into effect from November 30, changing the cost structure for new applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Form<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Previous Fee<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>New Fee<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-526<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct investor petition<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 3,675<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 7,615<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-526E<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional Centre investor petition<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 3,675<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 7,850<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology Fee<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New additional charge<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not applicable<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 75<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-829<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing conditions from Green Card<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 3,750<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD 5,000<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increase means that investors applying for an EB-5 visa will have to pay significantly higher government processing fees compared with previous applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Will the Fee Increase Affect Indian EB-5 Investors?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India has become one of the major sources of EB-5 applicants in recent years. Many Indian entrepreneurs and families consider the programme because it provides a pathway to US permanent residency without requiring employer sponsorship. The new fee increase may affect applicants in several ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Higher Application Expenses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors will now need to budget for additional costs, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USCIS filing fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment amount<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immigration attorney fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional centre charges (if applicable)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documentation and administrative expenses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government fee increase adds another financial consideration for families planning their US immigration journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Importance of Early Planning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since EB-5 visas are subject to annual limits and country-based quotas, applicants may face waiting periods depending on demand. Indian investors have experienced increasing demand for EB-5 visas over the past decade, which has contributed to visa backlogs. Careful planning can help applicants:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare financial documents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify investment sources<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand processing timelines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select suitable investment options<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What Should Indian Investors Do Now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian entrepreneurs considering the EB-5 programme should focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the updated USCIS fee structure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculating the complete cost of the immigration process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing financial documents and proof of legal source of funds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviewing EB-5 investment projects carefully.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking visa availability and processing timelines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering currency exchange fluctuations while planning US dollar payments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeking professional guidance to reduce documentation errors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-planned application can help investors avoid delays and documentation issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US EB-5 visa fee increase has raised the cost of applying for investment-based permanent residency. However, the programme continues to provide a structured pathway for foreign investors and their families to seek a US Green Card. For Indian entrepreneurs and families, understanding the updated fees, investment requirements, and processing timelines will be important before making immigration decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As US immigration policies continue to evolve, staying informed about EB-5 programme changes can help investors plan their next steps more effectively<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many EB-5 investors, the journey does not end with immigration planning. Frequent travel between India and the US may be required for business meetings, family visits, documentation appointments, and relocation. Choosing affordable international flights can help manage these travel expenses. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/flights\/deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian Eagle deals<\/a> help travellers find competitive fares on India-US routes and plan their international journeys with greater flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>What is the new EB-5 visa fee for Indian investors?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USCIS has increased the Form I-526 filing fee to USD 7,615 and Form I-526E regional centre filing fee to USD 7,850.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Has the EB-5 investment amount increased?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. The required investment remains USD 800,000 for qualifying areas and USD 1.05 million for other eligible projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can Indian families still apply for an EB-5 Green Card?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.
