Two years after a foreign national’s Form I-526 has been approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), he or she must submit Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions. Specifically, this form must be filed within the last 90 days of the investor’s two-year conditional residency period. Failure to submit this form within this timeframe may jeopardize a foreign investor’s ability to gain lawful permanent resident status. An I-829 Petition must prove to USCIS that the investor has met all the requirements of the EB-5 Program. Once the I-829 Petition is approved by USCIS, an investor and his or her qualified family members will be awarded lawful permanent resident status.
