What is Form I-956?

The Form I-956 is a form associated with the regional center structure of the EB-5 program. It sits on the institutional side of the program and is not among the petitions that an individual investor files in the course of their own case.

For this reason, it is distinct from the forms more commonly associated with the individual investor, such as the I-526 (initial classification petition) and the I-829 (removal of conditions on the green card). If Form I-956 came up in your research, it is worth understanding where it fits within the EB-5 context.

Because EB-5 forms and rules can change over time, the current existence, number, and purpose of any form should be confirmed at the official source, not from announcements or promises of quick solutions.

To be certain about Form I-956 and how it applies to your situation, consult the official USCIS website or a trusted immigration specialist.
