Yes, the EB-5 process can include additional interviews, although that does not always happen. The program typically has one interview as a standard step, and others may arise depending on the case.

After the investor’s initial petition is approved, the case moves to visa processing at a consulate or to adjustment of status inside the United States. At that stage, an interview is commonly scheduled: at the embassy or consulate for applicants abroad, or within U.S. territory for those pursuing adjustment of status.

Beyond that, immigration authorities may request additional interviews or clarifications in specific situations, particularly when there are questions to resolve:

  • Points to clarify in the submitted documentation.
  • Questions about the lawful source of the invested funds.
  • Particular aspects of the investor’s own background.

Since every case is unique and rules can change, the best approach is to keep documentation organized and check updated guidance through official immigration channels or with specialized support.
