The Form I-526E is the official USCIS petition used by investors who are participating in a Regional Center EB‑5 project. This fillable PDF lets you provide the required personal, investment, and project details so USCIS can evaluate your eligibility under INA 203(b)(5)(E).
What Is Form I-526E?
Form I-526E is distinct from the standalone I‑526 petition. It is specifically for:
- Investors pooling capital with a USCIS‑approved Regional Center.
- Petitioners reporting amendments when a Regional Center, enterprise, or job‑creating entity changes status.
Submitting the correct form helps prevent delays or rejections.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving any required field blank – the form will be rejected.
- Using an outdated PDF edition – always use the latest version (see download link).
- Submitting a combined fee payment with other forms (USCIS now requires separate payments).
- Signing the PDF with a scanned signature; use a digital signature tool or print‑sign‑scan.
