I-526 Petition

The I-526 Petition is a document filed by foreign investors seeking permanent residency (a green card) in the United States through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. It demonstrates that the investor has invested or plans to invest a specified amount of money in a U.S. commercial enterprise and that the investment will create or preserve at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers. USCIS reviews this petition to ensure the investment meets legal requirements and supports economic growth. Approval of the I-526 is the first step toward obtaining U.S. residency through the EB-5 pathway.
