My EB-5 petition was approved on December 20. It has already been more then 5 months and USCIS still hasn”t transferred my case to NVC. How long does USCIS takes to transfer the case to NVC? Anything I can do to speed up the process?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysNothing seems to be working; you can email IPO but they pretty much ignore this type of email. One could file a mandamus action but that is pretty sad; it doesn''t seem to make sense to do so but if speed is important, there may be no other option.
