FY2015 Q3 EB-5 Petition Processing Statistics
The Q3 petition processing statistics that I reported last week have now been officially posted on the USCIS website. Here is a bonus chart just showing the number of pending petitions. The I-526 trend finally shows some good news last quarter, while the backlog of I-829 petitions continues to grow.
