I hold a conditional EB-5 green card, but the project failed. I am working outside the U.S. now. I plan to apply for an L-1 when I have worked for one year, and before that, I will withdraw the pending I-829. During this one year, can I briefly travel (like a couple of weeks) to the U.S. before I withdraw the I-829, and the L-1 visa application? What consequences would this have?
