What is the I-526 processing time for direct EB-5 pooled investments during the regional center lapse?

Considering the current scenarios where only direct EB-5 investment are open, I am curious about how long it has been taking to get I-526 approvals? Does anyone have experience of a direct I-526 filed after RC sunset that was approved in a few months instead of the typical 1-2 years?

Showing 53.5 to 77.5 months but our experience is faster than this.

Sadly, we are not seeing any faster adjudication of I-526 cases. Note there are no regional adjudications and expect at least 2-3 years for adjudications. Here is what USCIS is publishing presently: 63 Months to 80.5 months for China Mainland. 37 months to 58 months for persons from all other areas.

No adjudications as of yet, and direct cases filed in Nov. 2019 are still pending.
