This is a difficult question because some of the variables are not known, but as of today I would estimate that a petitioner born in India would have to wait 5 years for an EB-5 visa to become available. This is based on the number of Indian petitioners I estimate have filed an I-526 but have not yet been adjudicated and the number of Chinese petitioners I estimate that have filed their I-526 and are ahead of Indians in line.
UPDATE: Since Covid-19 came along, the number of petitioners has dropped significantly. The estimate of 5 years is based on an assumption that the rate of new Indian petitioners will continue, so the slow-down could lead to shorter wait times.
