Recently, the Head of the USCIS said on an EB-5 stakeholder’s call that he is committed to rolling out the new expedite service called “Premium Processing.” He refused to give a timeframe, but he did say that the government did not have to submit the program for formal rule making (under the Administrative Procedures Act which can take months), which is good news.
More recently, the USCIS issued an unclear pronouncement that seemed to say premium processing would begin in 30 days. What it stated is that the program will start 30 days after the USCIS reviews the comments on the program and decides when to implement it. USCIS says it has started to email attorneys rather than issue Requests for Evidence (RFEs), but premium processing remains a goal and no start date can be predicted.
As soon as there is any news about the premium processing program I will notify all our clients and post a message on this blog and on my web page.
