If I am called for an I-526 interview, what should I bring?

If you are summoned for the I-526 interview under the EB-5 program, the key word is organization. USCIS officers typically request original documents or certified copies confirming your identity, the investment, and the lawful source of funds.

As a general guideline, it is worth gathering and bringing:

• Personal documentation: your passport and any other documents that establish your identity.
• Investment evidence: contracts, bank documents, and transfer records showing funds were committed to the project.
• Lawful source of funds: tax returns, bank statements, and supporting documents that clarify the origin of the capital.
• Business records: where applicable, official and financial documents related to the enterprise in which you invested.

The interview notice sent by USCIS may list items specific to your case, so read it carefully and follow its instructions. Keep organized copies of everything you present and, when in doubt, confirm the current list with the official USCIS source or a qualified immigration professional.
