The USCIS published notice that it proposes to raise the fees it charges on EB-5 investor visa applications to removal conditional residence (Form I-829) to $3,655.00. The current fee is $2,855.00.

USCIS also proposes for the first time to charge a filing fee for an application for a developer to operate a regional center in which EB-5 applicants may invest. The proposed fee is $6,230.00.

The new proposed fee increase notice also indicates a rule will be published providing for reports to maintain EB-5 regional center status.
