As an EB-5 investor who has invested in a direct project, I am preparing to file my I-829 form. However, as I read more about the requirements and responsibilities for this stage of my application process, I am confused about how to demonstrate good moral character. How can I prove this? Does a criminal record check or police certificate suffice? I want to make sure my petition is complete. Should I include evidence of my community work or proof of my tax payments? Do donations to charities count as a demonstration of good moral character? Additionally, what if I have a parking ticket (from which I was ultimately acquitted by a judge due to a misunderstanding)?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysThe form you are referencing is for the Removal of Conditions. This would require you to have obtained your initial 2 year green card first. Is that the case?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysFor I-829, you are required to take biometric for checking whether you have criminal records. At the same time, you need to honestly answer the yes or no questions on the form. Other than these, you don’t need to provide any documents to prove your moral character.
