USCIS Announces New Data Point on EB-5 Processing Web Page
April 17, 2024
- USCIS has announced its intention to publish a ‘months of inventory’ data point on the legacy Form I-526 processing times page.
- USCIS is no longer receiving Form I-526 legacy petitions and is therefore working through an inventory of cases that is not fluctuating due to the intake of additional receipts.
- ‘Months of Inventory’ is calculated by dividing the pending pre-EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) Form I-526 inventory by the average number of pre-RIA Form I-526 completions per month during the past six months.
- The Months of Inventory reflects the number of months of inventory that we have in any given month and will generally decrease month over month as we adjudicate these cases.
