We submitted our EB-5 I-829 in March 2018, but because of the pandemic, the project has been delayed and cannot start until Q2 2023. Based on current wait time estimation, our case will be reviewed in July 2024. Would that cause the I-829 to be denied? Should we start considering other options?

Securities AttorneysYou have a project that has waited 5 years to create jobs. What makes you think they will be creating jobs anytime soon? This sounds very fishy. You probably should be looking at other options, although you will now have to invest at least $800,000.
