Can investors file I-526E before the I-956F is approved?

Investors may generally file Form I-526E once the regional center has filed the I-956F for the project, referencing its receipt number. Check the current I-526E instructions at uscis.gov for what must be on file.

How is this different from Form I-956?

Form I-956 designates or amends the regional center itself. Form I-956F approves one specific investment offering sponsored by that regional center; a center files a new I-956F for each project.
