What happens to my EB-5 I-829 if the regional center goes bankrupt?

My I-526 is approved and I have the conditional green card. My I-829 was filed a year ago and now the EB-5 Regional Center went bankrupt. Will my I-829 get approved, as in, will the conditions get removed from the conditional green card? What are the consequences of this? Will I lose my green card?

There are options to have your funds redeployed but I suggest you set up a consult with your I-829 or other lawyer handling EB-5 cases to flush out all that needs to be done and figure out what happens to your funds as well as the immigration consequences.

It depends. Has the project been completed and was it paid for with EB-5 funds? Get an attorney asap.

Whatever the case, you need to be sure you have counsel in the bankruptcy for proofs of claim, etc. Your I-829 may still be granted if jobs were created while the RC was in operation before the bankruptcy. Further, the project could still be operating or under development even in light of a bankruptcy.

I do not see how it can be approved. It does seem that you will eventually lose your permanent resident status.
