STONEHAM-ET-TEWKESBURY · EB-5 FIELD GUIDE

What sits on top of the EB-5 capital for a Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury household?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

The regional center's administrative fee, the USCIS petition fee and the separate integrity-fund fee from the fee schedule, legal fees, translation of French corporate and land records, later immigrant-visa charges for each family member, and the Form I-829 fee, which can cover included qualifying dependants.

Count the capital once and the fees per person

The capital, whether US$800,000 in a targeted employment area or US$1,050,000 otherwise, is a single figure placed in the new commercial enterprise and expected to be returned only if the project succeeds. Everything else stacks around it. The regional center charges an administrative fee that is not part of the capital and is not usually returned.

The investor petition carries a USCIS filing fee and a separate program integrity fee, both listed in the current USCIS fee schedule, and premium-type expedites are not generally available. Legal fees for the petition and for the source-of-funds work depend on how tidy the corporate history is, and a thirty-year company with a buyout and a land sale will take more hours than a salary-based source. Translations of French financial statements, deeds and tax returns are a real line.

Then, once the petition is approved, each family member pays immigrant-visa and medical-examination charges, and two years later the removal-of-conditions petition has its own fee. Show the capital separately from the fees, marked as at risk.
