Navigating the EB-5 Visa Timeline: A Comprehensive Guide to Processing Times

The EB-5 processing time can vary significantly depending on several factors. Here’s a general breakdown of the typical processing timeline:

- Filing and Initial Review: 1–3 months — This is the time it takes for USCIS to review your petition for completeness and accuracy ¹.

- Background Check and Interview: 6–12 months — After your petition is deemed complete, USCIS will conduct a background check and schedule an interview with you.

- Conditional Green Card: 12–24 months — If your petition is approved, you’ll receive a conditional green card, which is valid for two years ².

- Removal of Conditions: 21–24 months after receiving the conditional green card — You’ll need to file a petition to remove the conditions on your green card.

- Unconditional Green Card: 30–36 months after filing the petition to remove conditions — Once your petition is approved, you’ll receive an unconditional green card, which grants you permanent residency in the United States.

It’s essential to note that these timelines are estimates and may vary depending on individual circumstances. Additionally, the EB-5 program has undergone recent changes, including the introduction of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, which may impact processing times .

USCIS has also implemented a visa availability approach to prioritize the processing of EB-5 petitions. This approach takes into account the availability of visas for the investor’s country of birth or cross-chargeability.
