USCIS has announced a significant change in the processing of EB-5 petitions, replacing the First In, First Out (FIFO) system with a new Inventory Management Model effective March 30, 2026. This new model introduces a three-step priority system designed to streamline project approvals and enhance processing efficiency.
Key Details:
- New processing model effective: March 30, 2026
- Three-step priority system includes:
- I-956F project approval gate
- Rural FIFO queue (top priority)
- Reserved sub-queues for other projects
- Aims to improve processing times and project approvals for EB-5 applicants
This change is expected to impact the processing experience for EB-5 investors and project developers, potentially leading to faster approvals for rural projects. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
