My project has already created enough jobs, but the completion keeps getting delayed for years (the original completion date was 2017). Is this delay of completion considered as “ material change” and does it impact my green card approval?
A material change is only relevant if you have not yet received your conditional lawful permanent residence. A delay or a failure to create the required number of jobs within two years, or within a reasonable time thereafter, means that you might not get your condition removed. A delay in creating jobs probably will not be construed as a material change.
Three years of delay in a construction project would at first glance appear to be a material change, but it would depend on many factors, including the business plan and PPM.
If these delays are reasonable, and construction delays are usually normal, it should not be a material change.
