How many EB-5 petitions are approved on average?

There is no fixed number of EB-5 petitions approved on average. Approval rates fluctuate over time and depend on factors that vary from case to case, so any pinned percentage quickly becomes outdated and cannot serve as a guarantee.

What truly influences the outcome of a petition:

• The quality and consistency of the documentation submitted.
• The investment structure and proof of job creation.
• The policy changes and the regulatory environment of the program.

Since each petition is evaluated individually by the competent authority, looking solely at a historical average can be misleading. The real weight lies in building a solid, well-documented case, not in banking on a statistic.

For current and reliable figures, consult official USCIS data and consider the support of a specialist to assess the realistic prospects for your specific profile.
