How long does USCIS take to process EB-5 petitions and applications? We have two sources of data relevant to the processing time question: the IPO Processing Time report, which indicates the filing date of petitions currently being processed, and the Forms Data Page, which gives data for the number of received, approved, denied, and pending petitions by quarter. The first source is helpful for past petitioners, while the second source can be better for current/prospective petitioners estimating future processing times.
