How much do I need to invest for Form I-526?

The standard amount is higher, with a reduced amount for investments in targeted employment areas or qualifying infrastructure projects, as set by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act. Check the current thresholds at uscis.gov, since they are subject to periodic adjustment.

What is the difference between Form I-526 and Form I-526E?

The I-526 is for standalone investors who invest directly in their own new commercial enterprise. The I-526E is for investors pooling capital through a USCIS-designated regional center.

What happens after the I-526 is approved?

You apply for conditional permanent residence through adjustment of status or consular processing. The two-year conditions are removed later by filing Form I-829 with evidence the investment was sustained and the jobs were created.
