I am an EB-5 investor from Canada and expect my I-526 petition to be approved very soon (the investor group I’m a part of has already received 50% approvals). Once approved, do I have to spend a minimum amount of time in the U.S.? Or can I stay in Canada during the 2-year conditional period before filing the I-829?
