There should be but we have not yet noticed one. At the moment of course there is only one line but it is painfully slow.

Nothing normal now because the regional center program is not currently an option and will not be an option until Congress re-authorizes.

We have seen multiple direct EB-5 cases process much faster than Regional Center-based EB-5 cases because direct EB-5 cases are usually not associated with large projects. Processing is not generally related to a particular nationality.
