When is the best time to apply for the EB-5 visa?

Is there a particular time of the year when it’s better to apply (when the USCIS has less of a workload?) I ask because I understand it gets very busy when the fiscal year ends in September. So, should I file months before or after that?

Not really – file when you have the funds and have figured out the project you want to invest in. You may consult on options for also adjusting status or consular processing depending on your living and working situation.

No better time than the present with a visa waitlist looming for individuals born in India and China. Once a cutoff date is implemented concurrently filing for adjustment of status will not be an option.

There's no data that tracks the best time of year to file. Another important consideration would be the country of birth as certain countries have visa allocations that make it more important to file during certain times of the visa bulletin cycle.
