THE DIRECT ANSWER

Do not assume the same forecast or process stage applies.

Track the actual selected case

Commercial dates and immigration events are distinct. Conditional residence begins through applicable immigrant admission or adjustment approval, and later requirements follow the actual record.

All ten hires need not necessarily be completed at the initial petition stage, but the applicable job-creation standard still needs credible evidence. When hiring changes, compare actual job creation with the method and timetable in the approved case; do not silently recycle names or assume a vacancy is irrelevant. Keep the entire source-of-funds file intact for the whole period, since it may be needed again at the conditions-removal stage, and record where every document is stored. The need for current evidence depends on the question and case stage, while immigration deadlines remain independent of the project’s reporting calendar. Because petition adjudication, visa availability, and later stages carry no fixed dates, hurrying the one stage an investor fully controls rarely improves the outcome.
