Understanding Form I-526 of the USCIS


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.

Applying for an EB-5 visa is often a daunting task due to its confusing technicalities and requirements. If you have plans of immigrating to the U.S. with your family, the Russian attorneys at the AmLaw Group may be able to advocate for you.
