London, UK & Washington, DC — December 19, 2025 — Global Immigration Partners (GIP), a leading immigration law firm specializing in investor visas, today released a comprehensive guide outlining how long the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program process takes — offering clarity to international investors navigating this complex pathway to U.S. permanent residency.

With demand for EB-5 visas rising worldwide, the newly published 2025 EB-5 Timeline Explained guide delivers a clear, step-by-step timeline covering all major stages: from petition submission to green card issuance. The guide reflects current processing trends under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) and explains how recent category changes affect wait times. Global Immigration Partners | Law Firm
Key Highlights from the 2025 EB-5 Timeline Guide:
- I-526E Petition Processing: The first major milestone for investor applicants, where eligibility and investment legitimacy are reviewed. Processing times vary depending on category and demand, with reserved categories (e.g., rural or high-unemployment projects) generally moving faster.
- Consular Processing vs. Adjustment of Status: Investors living abroad typically complete consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate, while those already in the U.S. may adjust status via Form I-485 — both paths have distinct timelines and implications.
- Visa Bulletin & Priority Dates: Availability of immigrant visa numbers can affect total wait time. High-demand countries may experience retrogression, whereas reserved category visas often remain current, reducing delays.
- Country-Specific Considerations: The guide offers insights on how backlogs for applicants from countries with high demand — such as China, India, or Vietnam — can influence waiting periods.
“Our goal with this resource is to empower investors with transparent, accurate expectations about each phase of the EB-5 process,” said Alexander Jovy, Co-Managing Partner at Global Immigration Partners. “Understanding where you are in the timeline — and what influences each stage — can make a significant difference in planning your immigration journey.”
The guide also outlines strategic approaches for reducing wait times, including selecting projects in set-aside visa categories and the benefits of filing key forms concurrently when eligible. Global Immigration Partners | Law Firm
