If I were to file the I-526 and I-485 petitions concurrently, can one be denied while the other is accepted? Or are they both reviewed and processed at the same time?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour I-526E must be adjudicated before your I-485. If your I-526E is denied and you don’t file a motion, your I-485 will be denied as well. If your I-526E is approved, your I-485 is very likely to be approved.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysUSCIS reviews them separately and at different service centers. If the I-526E is denied, the I-485 will be denied as well, as the I-485 relies on the underlying approved I-526E for eligibility.
