I have waited three years for my I-526 to be processed. I know that USCIS states that it currently takes 32 to 49 months to process an I-526, but the majority of investors who invested in the same project as I did have received their approval. This worries me. Is there anything I can do at this point?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysUSCIS is notorious for these delays. I would not worry that this reflects on the ultimate approval of your I-526. I would recommend that you consult with your investment immigration attorney.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysTry to reach out to your congressperson, but start with the regional center to see if they have ideas. It could be that you have a slower case officer or your source o funds is more complicated.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysIf you are still within the processing time, then there is nothing you can do. USCIS seems to group I-526s for the same project, but there is really no way of knowing what they do with every individual case.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysSome officers work faster than others. Unfortunately, it sounds like your case got assigned to one of the officers who are a bit slower or happen to have cases that require more time to process.
