42%: I-526 approvals decreased 42% from the last quarter of FY2015 and by over 24% in a year-over-year comparison with Q1 FY2015. The data suggests that while USCIS is facing unprecedented high volume of I-526 filings the volume of I-526 petitions adjudicated is falling precipitately.

$11 Billion: The pending petitions with USCIS equate to roughly $11 billion of capital investment waiting to be injected into the U.S. economy.
6+ Years: At the current rate of adjudication it is likely that an EB-5 investor from Mainland-China will have to wait over six years to receive a visa number.
