Intro. EB-5 is one of the most evidence-intensive petitions in US immigration, and assembling it by hand can take months. Dr. EB-5 is an all-in-one solution built to make it manageable. It works in two phases: first, a specialist generates your complete, USCIS-ready petition package from the documents you upload; then you polish and finalize it with built-in AI tools before you download and file. Here is the full workflow, start to finish.

Phase 1 — Generate your petition

1. Answer a few questions. Dr. EB-5 asks about your route (direct vs. Regional Center), your project, your investment amount, and your family. This determines whether your package is built around Form I-526 or Form I-526E.

2. Upload your documents. You provide the raw materials — primarily your investment evidence and source-of-funds records. Typical uploads include:

Category

Examples

Identity

Passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate

Investment

Wire transfers, subscription/escrow agreements, capital contribution proof

Source of funds

Tax returns, bank statements, employment or business income records, property sale deeds, gift or loan documents

Project

Business plan, offering documents, Regional Center materials (if applicable)

3. Dr. EB-5 generates the package. Your specialist assembles a complete, USCIS-ready petition: the correct petition form, a petition/cover letter, a source-of-funds narrative that traces the path of funds, an organized exhibit index, and supporting documentation laid out the way USCIS expects to see it.

Phase 2 — Polish and finalize

Once the draft exists, you refine it using built-in AI tools — no starting from a blank page:

  • Document editor — revise the petition letter and narratives with AI assistance.

  • Form-filling — auto-populate the I-526/I-526E and related forms from your uploaded data, then review every field.

  • Translation — generate certified-style translations for foreign-language evidence (bank records, deeds, tax documents).

  • RFE-risk review — flag weak spots or gaps that commonly trigger a Request for Evidence, so you can strengthen them before filing.

Download and file

When you're satisfied, download your finished package — this is the only point at which you pay the flat $999. USCIS filing fees are paid separately, directly to the government. You can file yourself, or use optional Print/Mail & Logistics and other human add-on services at quickfiling.us/services.

Want expert eyes on it?

Because EB-5 involves investment-law nuances and heavy source-of-funds scrutiny, many investors add a human layer: Petition Review, the Attorney-Led Petition Service, or Expert Drafting Services. These are optional and complement — not replace — the Dr. EB-5 workflow.

FAQ

How long does generation take? Once your documents are uploaded, your draft package is produced quickly — most of your time goes into gathering source-of-funds evidence and polishing.

What if I'm missing a document? Dr. EB-5 flags what's still needed. You can upload as you go and regenerate.

Can I edit after it's generated? Yes — the whole Phase 2 workflow is about polishing before you commit.
