USCIS Adds 'Months Of Inventory' Data Point To Form I-526 Processing Times Page

Earlier this month, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it would be publishing a "Months of Inventory" data point on its Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor (Legacy), processing times page. "Months of Inventory" is a data point that USCIS will calculate by dividing the pending pre-EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) Form I-526 inventory by the average number of pre-RIA Form I-526 completions per month during the last six months. According to USCIS, it is adding this information because it demonstrates a more accurate picture of case progression for the EB-5 stakeholder community. Further, the "Months of Inventory" data point should better reflect the work being done to process pending EB-5 cases.
