Form DS-260, Immigrant Visa Electronic Application, is a form submitted after the approval of the I-526 Petition by EB-5 investors who do not have a current nonimmigrant status in the U.S. The form is submitted to the National Visa Center from the investor’s consulate or embassy and is the first step in consular processing, which is how the investor and his/her dependent family members obtain their EB-5 Visas.
