Updated EB-5 Processing Times

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated their EB-5 processing times.

There’s now a much wider time range for processing time for Immigrant Petition for Alien Entrepreneur (I-526) at the Immigrant Investor Program Office. The range is now 29 months to 45.5 months.

Additionally, they have posted a table showing a receipt date for when an applicant can inquire about their case:

The processing times for Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove the Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (I-829) also show a wider range. The range is now 25.5 months to 40.5 months.

Again, they posted a Receipt date for case inquiry table:

Don’t be discouraged, however, as it appears as though it may just be the Immigrant Investor Office trying to stop case inquiries from taking too much time away from processing work.

Take a look at the Historical National Average Processing Times for both EB-5 petitions:
