fee hikes Summary – Summary A U. S. federal court has invalidated a steep EB-5 filing-fee increase introduced in April 2024, restoring the earlier fee schedule and providing relief to foreign investors.

Judge Charlotte Sweeney ruled that the U. S. immigration agency increased the fees without completing a mandatory fee study required under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act.

A class action may be filed to recover overpayments.
