My EB-5 I-526 was filed on March 3, 2022. The I-485, along with I-765 and I-131, was received by USCIS on April 25. In the case of other visas, the biometrics appointment is scheduled within a few weeks, but I have been waiting for four months now. Are other EB-5 investors experiencing similar delays? What are my options to prompt USCIS to hasten the processing of my EAD and travel document?

If you fit one of the expedite criteria you can request that on one or the other. Generally, work cards are coming much quicker than the travel permits as they have not separated them.
