My EB-5 project seems to have some problems; I don’t see a very big possibility it would be approved even if I file an I-829. Should I still file it? Could I apply for EB-2 NIW if I meet the requirements?
Answers

Immigration attorneysYes, you can file an EN-2 NIW as a backup but switching is complicated.

Immigration attorneysYes, but you will be required to abandon your CPR status to get a green card based on EB-2 NIW if approved. File I-829. Consult an experienced immigration attorney to review your options.

Immigration attorneysYes, but you will need to abandon your conditional resident to get a green card on the new basis at the later stage.
