Statistics, Processing Times and Visa Usage

Question:
Please list the processing times Forms I-526, I-829, I-924 and I-924A and how the times
compared to target processing times.

1. Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur)
2. Form I-829 (Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions)
3. Form I-924 (Application For Regional Center) for new Regional Centers
4. Form I-924-A (Supplement to Form I-924)for amendments to Regional Centers

Answer: Processing times are posted on the USCIS Processing Time Information Web page, accessible via the EB-5 Immigrant Investor page, My Case Status link, Check Processing Times link. The processing times for I-924s are posted on the EB-5 Regional Center web page. USCIS is working to improve processing times, and producing a large volume of cases. We understand stakeholder frustration, and have increased staffing, but the number of filings has also increased. As a result, USCIS cannot provide an arbitrary future date upon which target processing times will be met.
