Processing Time
The processing time for the I-526 form (Form I-526: Immigration Petition by Standalone Investor) is approximately 70.8 months.
If You Are in the U.S.: the next step after I-526 approval is filing Form I-485. The processing time for I-485 is approximately 6 to 8 months.
If You Are Outside the U.S. after I-526 approval, you must file Form DS-260. The U.S. consulate then provides USCIS approval, and an interview is typically scheduled within 90 days.
The final step in the EB-5 process is filing Form I-829 (Form I-829: Removing Conditions on Permanent Residency), which removes conditions on permanent resident status in approximately 22 to 48.5 months.

Established by Congress, the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the “Regional Center Program,” allocates EB-5 visas to investors who contribute to commercial enterprises managed by USCIS-approved Regional Centers. This program enables investors to pool funds and leverage job creation models to stimulate economic growth. Regional Centers facilitate access to investment opportunities while allowing EB-5 investors to make passive investments with experienced developers. Additionally, Regional Centers or investment issuers oversee the investment process, ensuring compliance with USCIS requirements.
The primary objective of an EB-5 investor is to secure a Green Card and recover their initial investment. Well-structured EB-5 projects include a clear exit strategy, ensuring investors receive their full principal along with interest. The investment must remain deployed or “at-risk” until the investor completes their Conditional Residency; otherwise, their Green Card will not become permanent. While EB-5 investments must legally be “at-risk,” this does not imply they are inherently high-risk.
An H-1B visa holder can apply for an EB-5 visa while legally employed in the United States and maintain their valid status. If the I-526 petition is approved and a visa number is available, the applicant can file an I-485 petition to adjust their status to conditional permanent residency while continuing to work in the U.S.
