USCIS Updates I-526E Filing Fee Schedule To Include $1,000 Integrity Fund Fee, Bringing Total Filing Fees To $12,160 – General Immigration

In an update to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) fee schedule, USCIS updated the Form I-526 fee table to
include the EB-5 Integrity Fund Fee, adding an additional $1,000 in
filing fees for Forms I-526.

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022
established the EB-5 Integrity Fund, which is to be financed
through the collection of an annual fee paid by and collected from
designated regional centers. Beginning Oct. 1,
2022, and in accordance with the Form I-526E, Immigrant Petition by
Regional Center Investor filing instructions on the USCIS website,
USCIS indicated they would begin collecting a $1,000 Integrity Fund
Fee with each new immigrant investor petition filed by a regional
center investor for the EB-5 Integrity Fund.

The collection of this fee brings the total government filing fees to $12,160, as the
initial general filing fee for Form I-526E was increased to $11,160
as of April 1, 2024.
