The new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fee schedule officially took effect as planned on April 1, 2024. The new fees under the final rule related to EB-5 are as follows:
◆ I-526/E, increased from $3,675 to $11,160, an increase of 204%;
◆ I-829, increased from $3,750 to $9,525, an increase of 154%;
◆ I-485, increased from $1,140 to $1,440, an increase of 26%;
◆ I-131, increased from $575 to $630, an increase of 10%;
◆ I-765, increased from $410 to $470, an increase of 15%;
On March 19, the American Immigrant Investor Alliance (AIIA) filed a lawsuit against the USCIS fee increases and moved for a preliminary injunction on March 25, requesting that the judge temporarily halt the implementation of the new USCIS fee rule. However, on March 29, the court denied the application for a preliminary injunction. Therefore, as of April 1, USCIS application fees have increased across the board, marking the first major fee adjustment by the agency since 2016.
Reminder: If you filed Form I-526E on or after October 1, 2022, you must pay an additional $1,000 fee as required by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. This additional amount is not included in the fees listed above.

We were among the first in the EB-5 industry to propose the concept of selecting premium projects and establishing a professional analyst team. We were also early advocates of the idea that U.S. EB-5 investment focuses on project selection and treating clients with sincerity. Worldway executives have met with numerous U.S. Congress members and maintain positive interactions with various U.S. legislators, governors, mayors, high-ranking officials, and well-known figures in the EB-5 industry!
