Now when president Biden ordered changes to the public charge rule, will something change with my EB-5 petition?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyThe withdrawal of the public charge rule requiring a Form I-944 does not affect your I-526 petition at all. There still is a public charge ground of inadmissibility, but a Form I-944 is no longer required. Furthermore, most EB-5 investors can overcome the public charge ground of inadmissibility on the basis of sufficient income or assets such that they are not likely to rely on the federal government for any means-tested benefits.

The public charge rule only affected Adjustment of Status applications (with a similar rule for the Consulate process), not the I-526 petition, and now it''s gone! So, a 17-page form and the mountain of evidence it required are gone with it.
