The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is requiring foreign nationals to fill out Form I-526 if they are considering applying for an EB-5 visa so they can migrate to the U.S. Below are the things potential investors should do upon approval of Form I-526:

  • Foreign nationals who have their Form I-526 approved by the USCIS may have their status as an alien entrepreneur adjusted by filing Form I-824.
  • Upon filing for another Form I-526, the priority date of the applicant will be based on the new form.
  • Foreign nationals can send a letter to the USCIS if they want a receipt notice copy of their Form I-526.
  • Foreign nationals should understand that approval of their Form I-526 is not a guarantee that the USCIS will grant their EB-5 visa or have their status adjusted.
