EB-5 Filing Costs in 2026: What You Will Actually Pay

The EB-5 investment minimum gets all the attention. It should not. The $800,000 or $1,050,000 you invest is (in theory) returnable. The fees you pay along the way are not. And those fees add up to $100,000 or more before you even account for the capital itself. This is a line item accounting of every cost category in the EB-5 process as of April 2026. Government fees are exact. Professional fees are market ranges based on EB5Status analysis of publicly available fee schedules and industry reporting. Estimated numbers are marked as such. Source: USCIS Fee Schedule (post November 2025 court ruling); USCIS Form Instructions; EB5Status market analysis. Blue trust tier for government fees; Gray trust tier for professional fee ranges. Important: Fees change. USCIS adjusts filing fees through rulemaking, and professional service rates vary by market, provider, and case complexity.
