Questions? Answers.

How much does the EB-5 visa cost in Kosovo?

$345 for each intending immigrant, to the U.S. Department of State, on the approved petition. You pay USCIS $3,675 for the I-526 or I-526E, and an initial I-526E adds $1,000.2,3,8

How much must I invest for the EB-5 visa?

At least $1,050,000, or $800,000 in a targeted employment area or an infrastructure project, for petitions filed now. The amounts follow inflation and will rise for later petitions.7,33,34

Which petition do I file for the EB-5 visa?

Form I-526 if you invest on your own, Form I-526E if you invest through a regional center; each costs $3,675 at USCIS, and an initial I-526E adds $1,000. USCIS rejects an I-526 tied to a regional center, and must approve yours before you apply for the visa.4,5,35,6,8

How many jobs must my EB-5 investment create?

At least 10 permanent full-time jobs, created or preserved, for workers authorized to work in the United States, within 2 years, not counting you, your spouse or your children.35,34,6

What are the U.S. employment-based immigrant visa categories (EB-1 to EB-5)?

Five, with about 140,000 visas each fiscal year. EB-1 is for people of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational managers. EB-2 for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability. EB-3 for skilled workers, professionals and other workers. EB-4 for special immigrants, such as religious workers. EB-5 for investors in a new U.S. business that creates jobs.3

What is the priority date for a U.S. employment-based immigrant visa?

The day your petition was filed. Visas are issued in that order until each category’s yearly limit is reached, and yours cannot be issued before your priority date is reached. In some heavily oversubscribed categories that takes several years. The Visa Bulletin shows the latest dates.3

How does a U.S. immigrant visa start?

Usually with a petition. A U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative files Form I-130, or a U.S. employer files Form I-140, with USCIS. USCIS must approve it before your case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC).36

What happens after USCIS approves the petition?

USCIS sends your case to the National Visa Center (NVC). NVC creates it and sends you a Welcome Letter, with which you log in to CEAC. There you pay the fees and submit the forms and documents, and NVC reviews them before an interview can be scheduled. In categories with a yearly limit, you wait until a visa number is available for your priority date, the day the petition was filed.12

How much is the U.S. employment-based immigrant visa fee?

$345 per person, for an application on an approved I-140 or I-526. Each intending immigrant pays it, whatever their age, and it is not refunded. Pay only when and where the NVC tells you. The I-140 filing fee is separate and goes to USCIS.2,3

Which civil documents do I need for a U.S. immigrant visa?

A birth certificate, marriage and divorce certificates, and police certificates if you are 16 or older. They must be issued by the official authority in your country. Documents not in English, or in the official language of the country where you apply, need a certified translation.21,22

Who must attend the U.S. immigrant visa interview?

You, the principal applicant, at any age, and each family member immigrating with you who is at least 14 on the day of the interview. A family member with their own case number attends at any age. Your petitioner does not need to attend.23

How do I check the status of my U.S. visa application?

On the State Department’s Visa Status Check, at ceac.state.gov. Choose your visa type, then enter your passport number and the first five letters of your surname.37

Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?

No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify.38
