The usual window is the 90 days before the second anniversary of conditional residence, not petition approval.
Track the actual residence event
Use the correct residence records and case-specific advice. Filing I-829 does not itself remove conditions or guarantee repayment, so keep those outcomes separate too.
EB-5 grants conditional permanent residence to an investor who places qualifying capital into a new commercial enterprise that creates at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, and who takes part in managing it or in shaping its policy. Review the appropriate petition route and current Visa Bulletin with counsel, including chargeability rather than assuming Canadian residence removes a queue. Review any change in the project schedule or in family circumstances as it happens, and keep removal of conditions on the calendar as a later, distinct step rather than treating initial approval as the end of the process. Residence follows only when the petition is approved and either an immigrant visa is issued abroad or adjustment of status is granted to someone already lawfully in the United States. Investor updates are written to reassure lenders and investors, and they use the vocabulary of approval — cleared, approved, on track — for commercial milestones that have no immigration meaning. Keep two calendars: the contractual one, driven by closing dates, capital calls and redemption windows, and the immigration one, driven by filing, admission or adjustment, and the conditional-residence period.
