Title: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment-Based Immigrant Visa, Fifth Preference (EB-5) Fee Rule 
Abstract:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing to adjust the fees U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) charges for Employment-Based Fifth Preference (EB-5) immigration benefit requests. This rule also proposes to codify in regulation certain elements of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 and make one technical amendment. DHS intends that the rule will provide USCIS the resources necessary to accomplish the goals of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 and enhance and maintain the integrity of the EB-5 program.

On Jan. 31, 2024, DHS adjusted these fees as part of a larger fee rule with other changes; however, it did not implement EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 requirements.
