How can you speed up the process?
Your EB-5 application involves a two-step process. First, USCIS must approve the project (Form I-956F). Once the project is approved, they will adjudicate the investor’s I-526E applications in the project.
Projects that qualify as national interest investments may be eligible for expedited processing of the I-956F. With I-956F approvals taking more than 1 year, an expedite approval can shorten this timeline considerably. You can learn more about USCIS’s requirements for expedited processing here.
Meanwhile, investing in a rural location qualifies the investors’ I-526E petitions for priority processing. Rural processing times are currently averaging around 12 months or less.
By choosing a rural project that is also considered of national interest, your application timeline can be considerably shortened.
Investing in Behavioral Health: Purpose Driven, Resilient, and Recognized by USCIS.
The behavioral health industry plays a vital role in addressing two of the most pressing public health challenges in the U.S.—mental illness and addiction. It aligns directly with the government’s nationwide efforts to combat the mental health and substance use crisis and satisfies two key criteria for USCIS expedited processing: significant government interest and urgent humanitarian need.
Recognizing the critical importance of these initiatives, USCIS has granted expedited processing to three I-956F project applications we’ve supported in the behavioral health sector.
Beyond its public impact, this growing and underserved market offers a resilient, recession-resistant business model. Unlike many industries that contract during economic downturns, the demand for high-quality mental health and addiction treatment only grows. Rising stress, anxiety, and substance use during challenging economic times drive continued—and often increased—demand for behavioral healthcare services.
By investing in behavioral health, you’re not only aligning with a mission-driven sector and potentially benefiting from expedited immigration processing, but also helping to tackle a national crisis and save lives.
Join us in shaping a healthier, more compassionate future—through meaningful investment with lasting impact.
Who can benefit from a faster process?
All investors can benefit from a faster process, but an expedited application is particularly valuable for those applying from outside the U.S. Unlike U.S.-based investors who can take advantage of concurrent filing— allowing them to apply for work authorization and a travel card while their EB-5 application is processed— overseas investors must wait for their visa before enjoying these benefits.
Expedited applications are also advantageous for investors from backlogged countries such as India and China. By investing in reserved visa categories like rural or high-unemployment target employment areas (TEAs), they currently face no visa backlogs. However, since the number of reserved visas is limited for each country, an expedited investment is beneficial as it offers a quicker path to access the reserved visa pool.
