I recently noticed that the I-924 petition status for our regional center is pending. How would this affect the processing time of my Form I-526?

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysUSCIS will likely hold I-526 cases until I-924 approval is granted. I do not believe they would do any work on the case until then.

Reason being the USCIS has stated that they typically will not review the underlying I-526 petitions in a project unless they have approved the project documents in an I-924 exemplar, or have received at least two I-526 petitions for a project.
