From November 30, 2026, new US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fees will increase the initial filing cost for regional center investors by approximately 114% and standalone investors by around 107%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Indian applicants, this means budgeting for higher government charges before submitting an EB-5 petition. The new filing charges increase the cost of submitting an EB-5 petition, while the minimum investment rules remain a separate requirement. However, a separate investment threshold adjustment is scheduled for January 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>US EB-5 Application Costs Change Starting November 30<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finalized new filing fees for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The updated fees apply to EB-5 investor petitions and related USCIS applications for individuals pursuing US permanent residency through investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USCIS will apply the new EB-5 charges to applications, petitions, and requests postmarked from November 30, 2026, onward. Investors should review the relevant form instructions and payment requirements before mailing their documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>New EB-5 Filing Fees 2026: Current vs. Revised Charges<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting November 30, 2026, higher USCIS filing fees will raise the cost of submitting EB-5 investor petitions and related applications. The following table outlines the current charges alongside the revised fees effective November 30, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Application or fee<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Current fee<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>New fee<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-526E, initial regional center petition<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,675<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7,850<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-5 Integrity Fund fee for regional center investors<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,100<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combined initial I-526E and Integrity Fund fees<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$4,675<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$8,950<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-526, standalone investor petition<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,675<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7,615<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form I-829, removal of conditions<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,750<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$5,000<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For EB-5 investors, the initial Form I-526 and Form I-526E filing fees include a $75 technology fee. Those applying through a regional center must also pay a separate $1,100 Integrity Fund fee with their initial petition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These USCIS fees cover only government filing charges. The total EB-5 application cost also includes separate expenses, such as legal representation and project-related fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Much More Will Indian EB-5 Investors Pay?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised EB-5 visa charges will add thousands of dollars to the initial application budget. The following estimates show the additional costs in Indian rupees, calculated at an exchange rate of \u20b994.39 per US dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Regional Center Investors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional center applicants will pay $8,950 in combined initial petition and Integrity Fund fees, compared with $4,675 under the existing schedule. The filing fee rises by $4,275, equal to around \u20b94.04 lakh in Indian currency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Standalone Investors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standalone applicants filing Form I-526 will pay $7,615, up from $3,675. The difference is $3,940, or approximately \u20b93.72 lakh at the same exchange rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These rupee amounts are estimates, not fixed payment values. Currency conversion rates and bank fees determine the actual amount payable in Indian rupees. Indian investors should also include legal charges and other application-related expenses in their overall EB-5 budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Is the EB-5 Investor Visa Program?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EB-5 Investor Visa Program allows foreign nationals to pursue US immigration by putting capital into eligible commercial enterprises that meet the program\u2019s requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each qualifying investment must support the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs for eligible US workers. Applicants must also meet the applicable investment rules and provide evidence showing that their funds come from lawful sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors who receive approval can become lawful permanent residents of the United States. Eligible spouses and unmarried children under 21 can apply for residency benefits as dependents, provided they meet the relevant requirements. The required investment amount alone is not enough to secure approval under the EB-5 program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Is the Minimum EB-5 Investment in 2026?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For petitions filed under the current investment thresholds, the minimum is $800,000 for qualifying investments in targeted employment areas (TEAs) or eligible infrastructure projects. Other qualifying investments require at least $1,050,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The minimum capital requirement does not include USCIS processing fees. USCIS charges are additional expenses and do not form part of the minimum capital an investor must put into a qualifying project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From January 1, 2027, the minimum investment is scheduled to increase to $937,500 for qualifying TEA or infrastructure projects and $1.25 million for other qualifying investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors preparing an EB-5 application for 2027 should confirm the official investment limits in effect at the time of filing before committing their capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Why Is the US Government Raising EB-5 Fees?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EB-5 revised fee schedule addresses the expenses involved in processing investor applications and overseeing the program. The Department of Homeland Security has revised the fee schedule to account for the costs of these activities and the resources required to oversee the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several costs associated with an EB-5 application have been revised under the new schedule. Regional center investors now face an Integrity Fund fee of $1,100, up from $1,000. Applicants submitting an initial Form I-526 or I-526E pay a filing fee that already accounts for $75 in technology costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What Should Indians Know Before Filing an EB-5 Petition?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian applicants preparing an EB-5 petition should start by identifying which investment route they intend to use. The forms investors must submit and the fees they owe depend on whether they choose the regional center route or a standalone investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before submitting an application, investors should:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check when you submit: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised fee schedule applies to petitions postmarked November 30, 2026, or later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Calculate the full budget:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Include government charges, legal costs, project expenses, and any applicable administrative fees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the investment threshold:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The minimum capital requirement depends on the investment type, so establish whether the applicable threshold is $800,000 or $1,050,000.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan for 2027 changes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Verify the revised minimum investment amounts if the petition will be filed next year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Review official instructions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the latest USCIS fee schedule and filing requirements to avoid submitting the wrong payment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional legal advice is important before investing in the EB-5 program. Applicants must satisfy immigration criteria, but meeting those criteria does not remove the financial risks associated with the investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The November fee revision will make the initial EB-5 application more expensive for Indian investors, even though the investment thresholds are not changing under this particular rule. Reviewing the filing route, updated charges, and upcoming investment adjustment before proceeding is a sensible way to prepare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer:<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This article is for general informational purposes only.

If you mail your application, petition, or request on or after that date, you must pay the fee listed in the updated schedule.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"customfaq-item\" style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><h6><strong>Q2) How much is the Form I-526E filing fee after November 30, 2026?<\/strong><\/h6><p><strong>A)<\/strong> The initial Form I-526E fee is increasing from $3,675 to $7,850. Regional center investors also owe a $1,100 Integrity Fund fee. Together, these charges bring the initial filing total to $8,950.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"customfaq-item\" style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><h6><strong>Q3) How much are the new EB-5 visa fees for Indian investors?<\/strong><\/h6><p><strong>A)<\/strong> Indian investors pay the same USCIS filing fees as applicants from other countries. Those investing through a regional center face $8,950 in combined initial Form I-526E and Integrity Fund charges. For standalone investments, the initial Form I-526 filing fee is $7,615.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"customfaq-item\" style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><h6><strong>Q4) What is the minimum EB-5 investment for Indian applicants in 2026?<\/strong><\/h6><p><strong>A)<\/strong> Indian applicants need at least $800,000 for an eligible investment in a targeted employment area (TEA) or qualifying infrastructure project. For other qualifying investments, the minimum is $1,050,000. These figures cover the investment itself, not USCIS filing fees, legal representation, or other application expenses.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"customfaq-item\" style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><h6><strong>Q5) Can Indian nationals obtain a US Green Card through the EB-5 program?<\/strong><\/h6><p><strong>A)<\/strong> Yes. Indian nationals can pursue a US Green Card through the EB-5 program by making a qualifying investment and meeting the job-creation, lawful source-of-funds, and other immigration requirements. USCIS assesses each application on its merits. Investing the required amount alone does not secure approval.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"customfaq-item\" style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><h6><strong>Q6) Will the minimum EB-5 investment change on November 30, 2026?<\/strong><\/h6><p><strong>A)<\/strong> No. The November 30, 2026, update changes USCIS filing fees, not the minimum investment amounts. A separate inflation adjustment is scheduled for January 1, 2027, when the investment thresholds are set to change. Investors planning to file in 2027 should check the applicable amounts before committing their funds.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cost of applying for a US Green Card through investment is set to rise sharply this November.
