Can USCIS interview employees hired under EB-5?

Yes. In the EB-5 program, USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) has the authority to conduct interviews and verifications to confirm the authenticity of the information submitted, and this can include interviewing employees of the project.

This measure typically occurs when there are doubts or signs of inconsistency in the documentation supporting job creation. The goal is to confirm that the business actually operates as described and that the jobs were created and are being maintained.

If interviewed, employees should respond honestly and accurately about their roles and the company’s operations. Statements that reflect the actual facts help avoid misinterpretations.

To get through this stage smoothly, the best approach is to keep documentation in order and maintain a transparent conduct. When in doubt, seek specialized guidance and review the official USCIS guidelines.
