By the time I get the EB-5 green card, how much money will I have spent? Considering filing fees, the investment as a regional center investor, and the services of an EB-5 attorney, I am calculating a rough estimate of between $845,000 and $900,000 as a starting point. What additional expenses should I consider throughout the process?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour estimate is roughly correct, depending on whether what is the administrative fee that you need to pay to the regional center. Additional expenses usually include, legal fees, filing fees, costs associated with the preparation and filing of the case (shipping, medical examination, etc.). Most of investors spend around $900k all in.
