The I-526E filing fee, a separate regional-center project fee if applicable, later the I-485 or consular fees for each family member and the I-829 fee, plus professional, translation and financial-diligence costs. Amounts are on the USCIS fee schedule and should be confirmed.
Budget the fees per person and per stage
EB-5 is a multi-stage process and the costs arrive over years. At filing, the investor pays the Form I-526E fee, and regional-center investors may also pay administrative fees to the project that are separate from the invested capital and not returned. When a visa becomes available, each family member pays for adjustment of status or an immigrant visa, with medical examination and biometrics costs.
Two years later the family files Form I-829 with its own fee. All government amounts are on USCIS Form G-1055 and change periodically. Professional fees cover the immigration petition; the source-of-funds work for a real-estate-funded file is document-heavy and a Boischatel household should ask whether translation of notarial deeds is included.
Financial diligence on the project, an independent review of the offering documents and cross-border tax advice are separate and should be obtained before the wire, since the immigration approval offers no protection for the capital itself.
