EB-5 Processing Times Increase - March 2015

   by  Alan Cleaver 

Unfortunately the new EB-5 processing times released by USCIS show another increase. Average processing times for all types of EB-5 applications are:

• Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur)
• 14 months (Increase of 0.2 months)
• Form I-829 (Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions)
• 11.4 months (Increase of .9 months)
• Form I-924 (Application for Regional Center)
• 11.1 months (Increase of .8 months)

In the last 6 months, the Form I-526 has taken around the same amount of time, however the Forms I-829 and I-924 have seen considerable delays: from around 7 months time to now 11 months processing times.

For best results for your EB-5 application, consult with an Immigration Attorney experienced in filing EB-5 applications.
