Where can I find I-526 and I-829 approval statistics?

The right place for that is the primary source: the official USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) website. That is where adjudication data for I-526 and I-829 petitions are published, the two central petitions of the EB-5 program, one at the investment entry stage and the other at the removal of conditions stage.

On the portal, the numbers typically appear in the statistics and reports sections, often in dashboards and periodic publications that show receipts, approvals, and denials by form type. Searching for the form name along with terms like ‘statistics’ or ‘Reports and Studies’ helps you reach the data quickly.

When reviewing the data, keep a few things in mind:

• Always prefer the official USCIS page over figures passed along secondhand.
• Note the period each report covers, because the data changes over time.
• Be cautious of websites or advertisements that promise guaranteed approval rates.

If the question is how to interpret those numbers for your specific case, beyond the general average, it is worth checking the information directly on USCIS or with a qualified professional.
