USCIS Adjusts EB-5 Fees to Cover Program Costs and Strengthen Integrity Measures
|
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating fees for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program to ensure EB-5 fees fully recover the cost of operating the program, meet statutory processing time goals, and support integrity measures such as audits and site visits. Congress created the EB-5 program in 1990 to promote U.S. economic growth through job creation and capital investment by immigrant investors. By investing in the U.S. and creating American jobs, aliens can become eligible for lawful permanent residence (also known as a Green Card). |
