SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Gate Global (GGG), a leading EB-5 regional center, is pleased to announce a notable improvement in the adjudication timeline of I-829 petitions by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Over the past eight months, GGG has received more than 30 I-829 petition approvals, with processing times of eight months or less, including the fastest approval received in just two months — an accelerated timeline compared to historical averages of 3 years.
Golden Gate Global reports an improvement in the adjudication timeline for I-829 petitions by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), reducing processing times from three years to 2–12 months, with an average of eight months or less.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers qualified foreign investors the opportunity to obtain U.S. permanent residency by making job-creating investments in the United States. A crucial step in this process is the I-829 petition, which serves as the final approval for EB-5 investors and their families to remove conditions from their green cards, marking the successful completion of their immigration journey. Timely approval of these petitions provides much-needed certainty for investors and underscores the program's integrity and efficiency.
Golden Gate Global welcomes this improvement in processing times, reflecting USCIS's commitment to expediting adjudications and enhancing investor confidence.
"We are encouraged by the USCIS's increased efficiency in adjudicating I-829 petitions, which significantly benefits EB-5 investors who have fulfilled their program requirements and are seeking permanent U.S. residency," - said Steven Kay, Founder of Golden Gate Global. "This progress signals a positive trend for the EB-5 industry and reinforces the stability of the program for future investors."
GGG remains dedicated to supporting its investors throughout the EB-5 process, ensuring a seamless and successful experience from initial investment to final I-829 approval. As a trusted regional center with a strong track record, Golden Gate Global continues to advocate for further improvements in USCIS processing efficiency to better serve the needs of EB-5 participants.
