Is there a limit on how many times I can enter and exit the U.S. with a conditional green card?

There is no formal limit on entries and exits. With a valid EB-5 conditional green card, you hold lawful permanent resident status and may travel abroad and return to the United States as many times as you need.

The concern is not the number of trips but the time you spend outside the country. Extended absences can lead immigration authorities to question whether you still intend to reside permanently in the U.S. The longer the absence, the greater the risk of losing your status. There is a mechanism, the reentry permit (reentry authorization), designed specifically for those who need to stay abroad for an extended period without abandoning their residency.

To protect your status, it helps to maintain evidence that the U.S. remains your home, such as:

• Family ties in the country.
• Property or housing.
• Professional activity and financial ties.

Because the rules are subject to interpretation and change, and every case has its own circumstances, check the latest guidance on the USCIS website or consult a specialist before planning extended travel.
