USCIS Premium Processing Rules Clarified by Global Immigration Partners
Global Immigration Partners, a leading U.S. immigration law firm, has released an update on the current scope of USCIS Premium Processing and its exclusion of EB-5 investor petitions.
The update notes that while Premium Processing has been expanded to include more employment-based visa categories, the EB-5 program remains ineligible.
EB-5 investors are still waiting for inclusion in the USCIS Premium Processing program, leaving them subject to standard adjudication timelines that often extend well beyond a year.
This means that EB-5 investors will continue to face lengthy wait times for their petitions to be processed.
- USCIS Premium Processing has been expanded to include more employment-based visa categories.
- EB-5 investor petitions (Form I-526) are still excluded from Premium Processing.
