Investors seeking permanent residency under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in the US starting November 30, 2026, would have to pay more filing fees. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has developed a new fee schedule for applications under the EB-5 program.
There are nine forms that fall under the revised fee schedule, and an estimated 16,600 EB-5 applications annually would be impacted by the new fee schedule. According to the DHS, there would be an increase in filing fees by 70.7% on average, which is roughly $2,946 per application.
What Is The EB-5 Investor Visa Programme?
Foreign investors who are qualified under the EB-5 program may file for permanent residency status in the US through an investment into a qualifying US enterprise, which will create not less than 10 full-time job opportunities.
