On July 18, 2023, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced an updated strategy for managing the Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor (EB-5). This approach involves organizing petitions filed on or before November 30, 2019, by the corresponding new commercial enterprise. These petitions will be placed in a queue where the project has been reviewed and a visa is available or will soon be. USCIS aims to improve efficiency and reduce backlogs by assigning related petitions from the same new commercial enterprise to the same adjudicators. This updated approach took effect in July 2023.
