Methodology
Wait time estimates are derived from USCIS published processing time ranges for each form type. These ranges reflect the time USCIS takes to process 80% of cases. Actual processing times depend on many factors including case complexity, evidence quality, and service center workload. Country-specific backlogs (visa retrogression) may add additional wait time beyond petition processing.
Concerned about processing delays?
An EB-5 attorney can assess your specific backlog situation, evaluate whether expedite requests or mandamus actions are appropriate, and advise on strategies to minimize wait times.
