If your investment under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program fails to create 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers in the two-year period following receipt of your conditional green card, this could ultimately result in denial of your Form I-829 petition to remove the conditions of your green card. Failure to meet the requisite number of jobs means you will not be able to adjust to permanent resident status and your conditional green card could be terminated, which means you would also lose U.S. residency. If you have invested in a Regional Center that is approved by USCIS your investment may create indirect jobs which may count toward your investment, but this is again subject to meeting job creation goals. You may be able to establish a good faith effort or to petition for a job creation waiver due to circumstances beyond your control such as the economy, however, this is never guaranteed, and you should reach out to legal guidance in such cases.
