The I-526 form has an official fee set by USCIS to process the investor petition under the EB-5 program. Whether discounts or reductions exist for specific groups, such as elderly individuals or people with disabilities, is a matter of fee policy and cannot be stated definitively here.

Rules on fee amounts, exemptions, and any potential reductions are established by USCIS and may change over time. Information that is accurate today may be outdated by the time you file, so the safest approach is always to go directly to the official source.

To find out what applies to your situation, consult the fee schedule and updated instructions on the USCIS website. When seeking guidance, rely on trustworthy sources and be cautious of unofficial information circulating online or promises of guaranteed outcomes.
