Yes, an interview is generally required for the EB-5 investor visa application. After USCIS approves Form I-526, the case proceeds to the National Visa Center (NVC) for consular processing. If the applicant is abroad, they must file Form DS-260 and attend a visa interview at a U.S consulate or embassy. The consular officer will verify the applicant’s eligibility, review supporting documents, and confirm the legitimacy of the investment and source of funds. Applicants must bring essential documents, including passports and medical exam results. This interview is a critical step before conditional permanent residency is granted under the EB-5 program.
