When I checked my EB-5 case processing times from USCIS, I found the estimated time has been changed to be less with this message: “We converted Form I-130 from our older cycle time methodology to our newer processing time methodology. So, you may notice a difference in processing times this month.” What does this mean and what is the difference between the two methodologies?
