Remove My Conditional Status Based on Investment
If you received your conditional permanent resident status through investing in a new commercial enterprise as a foreign investor (commonly referred to as the EB-5 program), your status is only valid for two years and cannot be renewed. You must apply to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status in the 90-day period before the second anniversary of you obtaining conditional permanent resident status (or were admitted to the United States as a conditional permanent resident), or risk losing your lawful status.
Eligibility
You are eligible if we granted you conditional permanent resident status as an investor. If you do not include your conditional permanent resident spouse (or former spouse) and children in your petition, they must file their own petition separately.

- Read the instructions for Form I-829, Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status;
