Holiday Update on USCIS Processing Time for I-526, I-829, and I-924 Petitions - The National Law Forum

Holiday Update on USCIS Processing Time for I-526, I-829, and I-924 Petitions

Greenberg Traurig Law firm

Earlier this month, USCIS released updated processing times for EB-5 related petitions.  The following chart provides the average processing times for cases being adjudicated by the Immigrant Investor Program Office (IPO) as of October 31, 2014:

Form

Processing Timeframe as of December 11, 2014

I-526

14.7 months

I-829

8.6 months

I-924

9 months

Based on previously released processing time data issued in July 2014, the current processing time for all three petitions has unfortunately increased.  During the December 5, 2014 EB-5 Public Engagement, Nicholas Colucci, Chief of the Immigrant Investor Program Office, explained the IPO’s operational plan for FY 2015 includes streamlining I-526  petition adjudications on a first-in first-out basis.

USCIS reminds I-526 applicants that tools are available for checking the status of a filing online at www.uscis.gov or through an email to USCIS.ImmigrantInvestorProgram@uscis.dhs.gov for cases which are pending beyond the above referenced processing times.

A group of in-house attorneys developed the National Law Review on-line edition to create an easy to use resource to capture legal trends and news as they first start to emerge. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the updates that were being sent to us on a daily basis.In the process, we’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S. Today, the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. There is no log in to access the database and new articles are added hourly. The National Law Review revolutionized legal publication in 1888 and this cutting-edge tradition continues today.
