I am an EB-5 investor who recently got a conditional green card. Due to personal circumstances, I have not yet been able to re-locate to the U.S. I would like to apply for a re-entry permit to save myself any hassles from CBP. Am I allowed to use a friend’s or relative’s address in my re-entry permit form?
