I and my family got our conditional green cards in 2018 through the EB-5 program. We filed for I-829 more than 39 months ago and are waiting for the result. Can I get my money back now? I do not know anything about the agreement with the regional center. Do I need to hire a corporate lawyer for this procedure or can I do it myself? What should I expect?

In many cases the funds that were lent/invested by the regional center to the developer need to be repaid by the developer before you can be repaid. You should contact your immigration attorney and regional center investor relations manager as they should be able to help answer your questions.
