AIIA files FOIA request with USCIS

AIIA has filed its first Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with USCIS. The goal of the FOIA request is to inform AIIA and its members about:

  • Staffing at IPO for adjudicating three different form types – I-526, I-829 and I-924.
  • USCIS policy and decision-making criteria on holding the pending EB-5 regional center applications in abeyance during the statutory lapse of the RC program.
  • Provide visibility on pending form inventories as of Sept 2021, organized by country of chargeability. 
  • USCIS processing rates since program lapse.

The responses to the FOIA request will be available to AIIA members only. This filing is one more step AIIA has taken to put the interests of immigrant-investors first.
