About how long does it take USCIS to analyze an I-526 petition for a direct EB-5 investment in a TEA? After I file I-526 with concurrent filling of I-485, how long should I expect to wait before I get an answer of approval, denial, RFE or NOID?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyI-526E petitions based on investments in rural projects are receiving priority processing (4-12 months) while high-unemployment cases are seeing approvals in 12-14 months at present. These are estimates based on anecdotal evidence and processing times will vary based on individual facts.
