I applied for EB-5 over two years ago and I am expecting to get a result soon. For work-related reasons, I need to travel to another country for a couple of months and might have limited access to my phone and email. I am afraid I might miss the notification from USCIS when I am away. How does USCIS usually notify EB-5 investors of the adjudication results? Do they contact investors or their attorneys?
