CITIZENSHIP DOCUMENT FORM N-565

Home > All Immigration Forms > N-565 | APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT NATURALIZATION/CITIZENSHIP DOCUMENT

FORM N-565

The form is used by an entrepreneur to petition U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for status as an immigrant to the United States under section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended.

WHO MAY FILE FORM N-565?

You may file this petition for yourself if you have invested or are actively in the process of investing the required investment amount in a new commercial enterprise (NCE):

  • In which you will engage in a managerial capacity through day-to-day managerial control or policy formulation;
  • Which will benefit the U.S. economy; and
  • Which will create full-time employment in the United States for at least 10 U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants lawfully authorized to be employed in the United States, other than yourself, your spouse, or your sons or daughters.

An NCE may be established by:

  • The formation of a business after November 29, 1990;
  • The purchase of a business formed on or before November 29, 1990, and simultaneous or subsequent restructuring or reorganization resulting in an NCE; or
  • The expansion of a business formed on or before November 29, 1990, through investment of the amount required so that a substantial change (at least 40 percent increase) in either the net worth or number of employees results.

HOW TO FILL THE FORM N-565?

Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question that requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed.
