The form I-526 is used by a standalone investor to petition USCIS for status as an immigrant to the United States under section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. The form I-526E is used by an investor pooling their investment with one or more qualified immigrants participating in the Regional Center Program to petition USCIS for status as an immigrant to the United Stated under section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration Nationality Act (INA), as amended. A regional center investor may also use Form I-526E to report any amendments necessary to establish ongoing eligibility if the regional center, new commercial enterprise, or job-creating entity in which the investor has invested is terminated or debarred from participation in the Regional Center Program. The data collected on this information collection will be used by USCIS to determine eligibility for the requested immigration benefit.
