4/30 IPO Processing Times, New RCs (AL, AR, CA, DE, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TN, TX, USVI, WA)

Today USCIS updated processing times for the Investor Program Office (IPO) as of 4/30/2014. Compared to the average times posted last month, I-526 times are one month better (now at 12.4 months), I-829 are about the same (now at 8.7 months), and I-924s went from 10.6 months to 4.4 months on average!

As I-924 processing speeds up, new entries continue to flood onto the USCIS list of approved Regional Centers.  But who is everyone? I now have all Year 2013 Regional Center approval letters thanks to an IIUSA FOIA request (watch for my analysis of them coming soon in IIUSA’s Regional Center Business Journal) and I can hardly wait for USCIS to get around to publicly posting that FOIA file so that I can include all the letters in my Regional Center directory.  In the meantime, please email me if you’d like to provide corrected contact information or a copy of your approval letter.  My Regional Center list page gets about 400 hits a week from countries around the world, so giving me info means some free advertising for you plus supporting my mission of increasing transparency in EB-5.
