Form I-526 EB-5 fee to more than double November 30

World Sep 30, 2026

Thinking about investing in the US for a green card?

Heads up: starting November 30, 2026, the main EB-5 application fee (Form I-526) will more than double, from $3,675 to $7,615.

If you're going through a regional center, you'll now pay $7,850 plus the program's investor integrity fee and a new $75 tech fee.

There's also a new Form I-527 costing $10,330.

These hikes are meant to keep the program running smoothly.

Form I-956 and I-956F fees jump

Regional center setup fees are seeing huge jumps too: Form I-956 will now cost $44,115 (up from $17,795), and getting investment approval (Form I-956F) will set you back $42,675.

With annual limits and heavy demand from countries like India, expect longer wait times if you're applying from there.
