RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF ROSSER · EB-5 FIELD GUIDE

Does an earlier petition’s timing forecast determine this residence process?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

A previous case’s forecast cannot determine the current government process. Build the timetable from this investor’s actual notices and status events.

Retire the old forecast without losing the history

Label the earlier estimate with the case and assumptions it described. Place current petition information and the applicable immigrant-visa or adjustment steps in a new chronology rather than advancing dates simply because a similar project once moved faster. Conditional residence starts at actual immigrant admission or adjustment approval. Its second anniversary anchors the usual I-829 filing window during the preceding 90 days. Keep this deadline separate from projected capital return and commercial completion. A reused forecast is planning context, not evidence that residence started or conditions were removed.

Adjudication times and visa availability then govern the rest and are published by the government rather than predictable in advance, so any fixed promise about duration should be treated as a warning sign about the person making it. Plan the enterprise's own reporting on the same staggered basis, because each investor will eventually need to demonstrate that their capital was invested and sustained on the terms required, and that demonstration is easier when the records were kept per investor from the start.
