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?

Immigration attorneysSadly, 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.
