There are many crucial decisions to make, as well as many forms to fill out, in the process of an EB-5 application.
In this short article, we will discuss the three most important forms when it comes to applying for an EB-5 Green Card:
- I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur): This is the very first form you will be submitting to USCIS in the course of your EB-5 application. It contains information about your address, date and country of birth, and the investment you just made. Filing fee: $3,675.
- I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status): This form is used by a person who is in the United States in legal status (such as F-1, B1/B2, H-1B, E-2, etc.) to adjust to permanent resident status or register for permanent residence. Filing fee: $1,140. An additional biometrics service fee of $85 is required for applicants ages 14 to 78.
- I-829 (Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status): This form is for immigrant entrepreneurs to petition to remove the conditions on their permanent resident status. You must submit this petition within the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of obtaining conditional permanent resident status. Filing fee: $3,750.
