Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneySince concurrent filing of I-485 case on a pending I-526 is being held in Texas, the I-485 will probably be transferred to another service center for actual adjudication. It is unclear how long it takes for IPO office to notify whomever that has the concurrently filed I-485 that I-526 was approved as I do not know if any were approved since they started allowing concurrent filing. While we wish the notification and then adjudication could be quick, I am sure that it will take months knowing USCIS bureaucracy.
