How long does the I-526 petition take to process?

The official processing time for I-526 petitions for all EB-5 investors, with the exception of Chinese citizens, is 52.5 months, according to data on the official USCIS website: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

The processing time is calculated based on the amount of work completed by the USCIS office earlier, including the pandemic period, as well as including those 9 months when the EB-5 program was on a technical pause (from June 2021 to March 2022).

According to our estimates, the actual processing time of petitions for investors who are applying now will be about 18-36 months.
