Throughout the EB5 investment process<\/a>, investors will receive two Green Cards, the first being the conditional permanent resident Green Card. This is obtained near the beginning of the EB5 process after an investor applies for adjustment of status<\/a>. The conditional Green Card is valid for two years, in which the investor is tasked with meeting the requirements<\/a> set by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Within the final 90 days of this two year period, an investor must file Form I-829<\/a> to remove the conditions on their Green Card. However, the I-829 petition can take months or years to fully process. As such, USCIS will extend an applicant\u2019s conditional resident status for 24 months after the I-829 petition is filed. If a petition takes longer than two years to process, an investor can get their status extended in one-year increments.<\/p>\n
