I understand EB-5 adjudications in general have slowed down quite a bit, but I was wondering if there are any insights into what a reasonable ETA is at this point for an I-485 adjudication after a petition approval. For reference, my AOS for a rural project was filed in early 2025, and my I-526E was approved in August 2025. No updates on I-485 yet despite a year passing since the I-526E approval.
