Form I-526E

Regional Center Investor Petition

The individual investor's petition establishing eligibility for a conditional green card based on their EB-5 investment.

Typically filed by: Investor

Form I-526E is filed by each individual investor in a Regional Center project after that project's Form I-956F is approved.

The petition must demonstrate that the investor's capital is lawfully sourced, has been placed (or is being placed) at risk, and is expected to create the required number of qualifying jobs.

Approval of Form I-526E is a case-by-case USCIS adjudication; approval of the underlying project's I-956F does not guarantee approval of any individual investor's I-526E.

This is a general explainer, not legal advice, and does not describe the requirements of any specific case. Confirm current form editions, fees, and instructions directly at uscis.gov (or travel.state.gov for DS-260) before filing.
