What are the total costs of an EB-5 visa?

It’s common to hear that an EB-5 visa costs $500,000 if you invest in a TEA project, or $1,000,000 if you invest in a non-TEA project, but what about all the other fees cost?

In addition to the cost of the $500,000 capital investment, there's roughly $75,000 to $85,000 miscellaneous fees. So get a real understanding of what the total cost of an EB-5 visa is, you have to know what all the other added fees will cost. Here’s a breakdown of roughly the total costs of an EB-5 visa:
