US Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced a shift from first-in-first-out processing of EB-5 I-526 petitions to a visa availability approach.
This change is set to come into effect from March 31, depending on the impact of shutdowns due to coronavirus.

Currently, USCIS processes I-526 petitions in the order in which they were filed irrespective of the nationality of the EB-5 investor.
From March 31, I-526 petitions from countries without an EB-5 visa backlog will be processed first followed by petitions filed by investors from backlogged countries, namely China, Vietnam and India.
