EB-5 Trends
Long-range charts built from every Visa Bulletin we hold and every USCIS processing-time capture in our archive. Each chart notes the date its data runs through.
Unreserved Final Action Date movement by month
Days each country's cutoff moved from the prior bulletin, January 2020 to November 2026
Last updated: Visa Bulletin for November 2026
Points above zero mean the cutoff date advanced that month, points below zero mean it retrogressed, and gaps mean the category was Current or Unavailable.
Months each country has been Current
Unreserved Final Action Date, 83 bulletins from January 2020 to November 2026
Last updated: Visa Bulletin for November 2026
A Current category has no cutoff date, so a longer bar means investors from that country could be issued a visa without waiting for their priority date for more of the period.
Set-aside Current streak
Consecutive Current months for each reserved category, ending with the latest bulletin
- Rural (20%)Current since May 2022
- High unemployment area (10%)Current since May 2022
- Infrastructure (2%)Current since May 2022
Last updated: Visa Bulletin for November 2026
The reserved categories created in 2022 have their own visa numbers, and an unbroken Current streak means investors in them have not faced a cutoff date in that time.
I-526E processing time history
Range in months from the USCIS Check Case Processing Times tool, at each capture where it changed
Last updated: USCIS tool, captured November 10, 2026
USCIS says 80% of recently completed I-526E petitions finished within the upper figure, so a rising range means new regional center investors should plan for a longer wait.
