Is there a risk of deportation if the I-829 is denied?

The removal of conditions phase of the green card through the I-829 is crucial in the EB-5 process. During this stage, the investor needs to prove that all program requirements have been met to secure permanent residency without restrictions.

If the I-829 is denied, the conditional permanent resident status can be lost. This does not mean there will be an immediate deportation order, but rather that the individual will no longer have the protection of the green card. Without this status, the investor could find themselves in an irregular situation and consequently subject to removal proceedings.

In many cases, after the denial, there is a period of time in which the person can regularize their situation or, if necessary, voluntarily leave the United States. Each situation has its particularities, and different factors can influence the procedure.

It is important to emphasize that strictly following immigration laws is fundamental. If there are doubts or complications in the process, seeking guidance from specialized professionals can help understand the options and the best way to proceed. One should also be cautious about easy promises or marketing campaigns that guarantee results, as the process is complex and rules may change.

Staying well informed and acting cautiously is essential to avoid unnecessary risks, especially in delicate situations related to immigration status.
