VietnamShort answer: EB-5 investors with a two-year conditional green card must file Form I-829 in the 90 days before the card expires to show the investment still complies and the required jobs were created or maintained. Approval leads to a permanent green card. Late filing can put status at risk—align documents with the regional center and counsel early.
Timing window
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Conditional card term | Usually 2 years |
| I-829 filing window | 90 days before expiry |
| After filing | Receipt notice; status and travel documents are typically maintained while pending |
See US EB-5.
What review focuses on (concepts)
- Whether capital was deployed and sustained as planned;
- Whether the required number of qualifying full-time jobs was created or maintained (or evidenced under deployment/redeployment rules);
- Completeness of regional-center/project reports, payroll, tax and financial records;
- Updated relationship and identity documents if family members remove conditions together.
If the project redeployed capital, the file must show compliance with then-applicable policy and disclosure.
Global Immigrate’s recommendation
- Build an I-829 document calendar as soon as the conditional card is issued—do not wait for the last month.
- Request current job and capital reports from the regional center and cross-check them.
- Tell counsel early about moves, divorce or children approaching age-out.
