On May 2, 2018, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a Policy Alert regarding an update made to the USCIS Policy Manual related to the documentation for conditional permanent resident (CPR) status provided by USCIS to immigrant investors with pending I-829 petitions. Every EB-5 investor with CPR status must file an I-829 petition to remove conditions by filing a Form I-829 petition within 90 days of the expiration of the two-year CPR status. USCIS then issues receipt notices to each EB-5 investor and dependent family member upon receiving the properly filed I-829 petition. The I-829 receipt notices evidence continuing CPR status (including travel and employment authorization) for an additional year after the expiration of the CPR card until the I-829 petition is adjudication or an order or removal becomes final. The Policy Alert explains that the original guidance which was previously found in Chapter 25.2 of the Adjudicator’s Field Manual (AFM) and not yet published in the USCIS Policy Manual, is now reaffirmed in Volume 6, Part G of the Policy Manual.
