EB-5 Processing Times

Today the USCIS is quickly processing many EB-5 investor green card cases. Our most recent I-526 petition (first step) was approved in about 3½ months. Our two most recent applicants for adjustment of status to permanent resident (second step) were approved in about 6 weeks. It takes time to assemble the documents and file the applications. Overall, these cases were granted from investment to permanent residence in less than 7 months. Other case may take longer. It will also take longer for those obtaining an immigrant visa at an American consul overseas. For a flowchart of the process see my web page www.aboutvisas.com and click on EB-5 Investor Green Card.

If the investor is residing at CA in which service center the I-485 application will get processed, after filing to Phoenix Lockbox.

Sorry for the delay -- All EB-5 cases are processed at the California Service Center.
