USCIS Ombudsman’s 2017 Annual Report to Congress (June 29, 2017). The EB-5 section of the report (page 30-33) reviews facts we already knew, but is interesting in the way it highlights the EB-5 visa backog as a significant concern. I particularly appreciate the section on the USCIS Administrative Review Process in Employment-Based Decisions (page 23-26), which describes the three alternative administrative options for petitioners who think USCIS has made an erroneous decision: Motion to Reopen, Motion to Reconsider, and appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). See especially the very helpful Figure 3.2 on page 25, which lays out the steps and process and considerations in each alternative.
