USCIS announced at a recent AILA EB-5 conference that it will be launching an electronic filing system for I-526 petitions. Petitioners will be able to file the I-526 form online with payment and receive an immediate receipt. Hard copies of supporting documents will then be filed.

USCIS has already done this in other areas, including I-140 petitions for employment based immigrants. Unless there is a deadline that electronic filing will enable the petitioner to meet, there is not a great deal of advantage to filing online and we typically do not use that system.

USCIS also is considering using a repository for regional center project documents so that individual investors do not have to file project documents. The idea of a repository for regional center project documents may save on paperwork, but care must be taken to include amendments and updated documents.
