I received my I-526 receipt on Aug. 7, 2019. I am an Indian citizen. When can I expect to get an approval of my I-526?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryThe Immigrant Investor Program Office (USCIS-IPO) is adjudicating I-526 petitions based upon an immigrant visa number availability approach, but it also uses its resources to bundle certain petitions and transfer workloads between officers and teams in a manner that makes it difficult to predict the actual processing time for a given case. Current average processing times are about 30 months, so your petition is likely to be adjudicated slightly earlier or later than that average processing time.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryThe new policy for prioritizing applicants from countries with currently available green cards means you should expect the normal I-526 processing times. I know, India has flirted with retrogression in recent years but it has been current lately.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryMost cases take about 2 years but some are taking longer. If India backlogs as it will likely do so soon, then it could take longer as it will go into the slower backlog line.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryMany Indian investors who submitted petitions on or after yours have been adjudicated. As such, you may wish to follow up with the USCIS.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryIf your Priority Date is current, then just review the posted processing times for I-526s on the USCIS website.
