Regional centers usually have detailed terms and conditions on the timing and procedure of the return of investors’ EB-5 capital in the investment agreement or other documents. Investors need to review these documents with their EB-5 attorneys carefully to understand the exit strategies before any investment is made. Investors also need to understand that USCIS requires the EB-5 capital to be kept “at risk” during the conditional permanent residency, which means that investors cannot get their EB-5 money back during this period if they want to keep their immigration benefits.
