How much does it cost to get a green card if you want to apply for immigration to the United States?

The cost of investment immigration in the United States can basically be divided into two parts, namely, application cost and investment cost.

1. Fees for applying for a US green card:

I-526 green card for investment immigrants: per case 1435 USD; DS-230 immigrant visa fee: $400 per person; I-829 conditions for canceling the green card: $2,930 per case; Other family members' biometric fingerprint fee: $80 per person; Regional center management fee: According to American immigration law, EB-5 investment immigrants need to pay a large amount of regional center management fee. However, because the project is different from the regional center, the cost gap is relatively large. The bidding fee alone will cost 20 thousand to 60 thousand dollars, and the management fee will be charged proportionally. This kind of fee can be said to be the hidden cost of applying for EB-5 investment immigration project in the United States.

Second, the investment cost of American green card:

The biggest part of the cost of applying for EB-5 investment immigration project in the United States is the investment cost. The applicant needs to complete the EB-5 project investment of 654.38 million US dollars. In low employment rate areas and regional central areas, only an investment of 500,000 US dollars is needed to meet the application conditions.

However, this part of the funds belongs to the refundable part. After five years, investors can apply for the return of the principal after meeting the requirements of the immigration policy.

In addition to these two parts, in order to improve the application rate of EB-5 program in the United States, Bian Xiao suggested that applicants hire American lawyers. Then, what fees need to be included in applying for EB-5 investment immigration project in the United States, which is generally around 20 thousand dollars. In addition, applicants also need to consider the travel expenses involved in visiting the United States, landing, interviews, etc.
