What is the processing time for an EB-5 case converted from an E-2 business?

The initial petition takes about two years and presently India is not backlogged, but we expect it will be soon. My guess is at least five years but no one knows because there are too many variables.

USCIS does not separate out the different styles of EB-5 (RC versus non-RC), so all we have to work with is the posted processing times, which is still around four years. Being born in India, you have to look at green card availability after the I-526 petition is approved, but the I-526 petition itself will not be affected by you nationality.

It is the same as any other EB-5 case that has a current priority date, which is currently at 37-73.5 months just for the I-526 stage.

The government is taking 31 months to approve EB-5 cases. You will come under the annual quotas for or EB-5 persons born in India. But right now the quotas from India for EB-5 are current.

A business conversion from E-2 to EB-5 has no impact on the processing time. This case would be processed as all other direct cases.

I-526 processing is not affected by the E-2. You can find USCIS processing times at: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/. Also, the Visa Bulletin provides information regarding immigrant visa number availability and cut-off dates, if any, for all immigrant preference categories based on country of chargeability (country of birth).
