Email Processing required for EB-5 Petitions
As of June 2018, all applicants filing an I-526 petition (EB-5) must process their visa petition electronically. the National Visa Center (NVC) will need an email address for all applicants to communicate and receive applicable case information. To submit documents (supporting civil documents with translations and financial forms with accompanying evidence) to NVC, all visa applicants in the EB-5 category should scan and save them as a PDF file. They should then attach their financial, civil, and supporting documents to an email and send it NVCElectronic@state.gov. Please type the case number in the subject line of the email. Multiple PDFs can be attached to a single email, but each PDF can be no more than 5 MB (megabytes) in size. If you have multiple case numbers, please use a different email message for each case. For more information, review our Document Scanning FAQs.
Customers with questions related to an approved I-526 petition should contact NVC using the Public Inquiry Form.
NVC will documentarily complete the immigrant visa case and schedule an interview overseas.
