U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) held a stakeholder teleconference on March 28, 2013, concerning its plans to include filing of Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, and other forms used in the EB-5 process in USCIS’s “ELIS” (Electronic Immigration System). The Web-based system allows applicants to create an account and file an application online. At the teleconference, a USCIS representative said the agency is integrating EB-5 processes into its electronic system. The I-526 will be the first of four related forms being moved to ELIS. USCIS said the ability to see the status of a case online will also be provided in the future.

Detailed notes on the call are available here.
