Dramatic Increase in EB-5 Form I-829 Processing Time (October 2014 EB-5 Processing Times)



Update: USCIS corrected the Form I-829 Processing time on October 24, 2014 to reflect a 7.2 Months. Although a formal update as to the EB-5 processing times for this month was not provided, a review of the designated USCIS EB-5 processing times webpage posted on October 7, 2014 (reflecting the average processing times from August 31, 2014) showed increases and even a dramatic increase in the processing time for Form I-829 Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions.

  • Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur:
    • 13.8 months (increase of .5 months)
  • From I-829 (Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions)
    • 15.1 months (increase of 7.5 months!)
  • Form I-924 (Application for Regional Center)
    • 8.1 months (increase of 1 month)

Unfortunately EB-5 processing times are still not consistent and vary greatly. Even though the average times are listed above, some applications are adjudicated much quicker, and sometimes take much longer.

For best results, contact an Immigration Attorney specializing in Business Immigration law.
