No. EB-5 investors must address removal of conditions through the applicable I-829 process. The later filing concerns evidence of the investment and qualifying jobs, with requirements assessed under the rules applicable to the case.
Plan the evidence from the beginning
Confirm the residence grant date and filing window with counsel. Ask the enterprise which records will support the later petition and preserve regular updates. Do not assume the original investor-petition approval proves every later requirement.
The project’s proposed return of capital also needs separate review; residence timing alone does not promise that the money can or will be repaid. Tell the household that the case has a second half, because families routinely treat the residence grant as the finish. Removal of conditions is addressed through the applicable process and turns on evidence of the investment and the qualifying jobs, assessed under the rules applicable to the case.
Confirm the residence grant date and the filing window with counsel at the outset and put both in the family calendar alongside school and passport dates, since the interval is long enough that the requirement is genuinely forgotten. Ask the enterprise which records will support the later petition and preserve regular updates. The proposed return of capital is a separate question, and residence timing promises nothing about repayment.
