They have finally started doing 2019 cases but there is no consistency so it is going to take many more months.
How long after filing an EB-5 application should I expect to receive updates?
We have submitted our EB-5 application in Sept. 2019. I have been trying to find out how long it takes for a case to open after filing, but I am getting mixed answers. When should I expect to hear about my case?

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onDo you have the receipt? If you look under USCIS Case Processing Times, you can always get an update on their expected average processing times. You can also get an update on your specific case with the case number from your receipt.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onYou can always check the status of your case on the USCIS website. Find “Check Case Status” and you can see USCIS processing times. Currently, it is taking over 54 months for USCIS to adjudicate Form I-526.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onThe USCIS status website will only confirm that your case has been received, has been issued a request for evidence, has been approved, or denied. Processing times are still very slow - anecdotally, I am aware that some cases filed in early 2019 have been approved over the last month. It is difficult to predict USCIS adjudication patterns - suing USCIS via a mandamus action is the one way to really push USCIS to adjudicate your case on a more predictable timeline.
