contents We introduce an enriched immersed finite element method for addressing interface problems characterized by general non-homogeneous jump conditions. Unlike many existing unfitted mesh methods, our approach incorporates a homogenization concept. The IFE trial function set is composed of two components: the standard homogeneous IFE space and additional enrichment IFE functions. These enrichment functions are directly determined by the jump data, without adding extra degrees of freedom to the system. Meanwhile, the homogeneous IFE space is isomorphic to the standard finite element space on the same mesh. This isomorphism remains stable regardless of interface location relative to the mesh, ensuring optimal $\mathcal{O}(h^2)$ conditioning that is independent of the interface location and facilitates an immediate development of a multigrid fast solver; namely the iteration numbers are independent of not only the mesh size but also the relative interface location. Theoretical analysis and extensive numerical experiments are carried out in the efforts to demonstrate these features.
