I understand the whole purpose of increasing fees last year was efficiency. I was advised to wait for the resolution of the ongoing litigation before applying because of that. Now, finally, a court has instructed them to lower the fees to their previous levels. I think of applying now, but I am concerned that USCIS is less efficient now in processing applications?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysNo way to know yet. They shouldn’t be less efficient unless there is a staffing layoff. They will likely follow the correct steps and re-instate the higher fees as soon as they can.
