EB5AN has witnessed EB-5 investment volume more than double in Q1 2024 compared with Q4 2023. The remarkable growth in EB-5 investment volume in Q1 2024 can be largely attributed to investors’ anticipatory response to the USCIS I-526E petition fee increase that came into effect on April 1, 2024. Understanding the significance of this timing, many investors chose to act swiftly, capitalizing on the more favorable conditions before the fee hike.

Partial Investment I-526E Petition Filing
A noteworthy trend observed during this period was the increased use of the partial investment filing option. Partial investments involve contributing a specific portion of the required capital, often around half, and committing to providing the remaining amount within a predefined timeframe. This option also complies with the EB-5 program’s criteria, as it signifies that the investment is “in the process of being made.” EB5AN offers this flexible pathway across all its EB-5 projects. This option has provided investors with an opportunity to save money on their I-526E filing fee and lock in a priority date before their full investment funds are available.
