It shall not affect your I-829 application. The U.S. immigration law does not require the length of the marriage in the EB-5 application. You can submit your I-829 application separately.
How will a divorce during conditional residence affect my I-829?
My ex-husband and I got married before the I-526 was approved, but we divorced upon receiving the conditional green card. The marriage length was less than two years. Will the divorce affect my own I-829 filing result? My ex-husband was the main applicant.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onIt should not affect your status, as the basis for your conditional permanent residence was not marriage to a citizen. However, you should obtain the services of an attorney versed in immigration law to be on the safe-side.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onGenerally, divorce should not prevent conditional green card holders from removal of conditions, which the I-829 is all about. Consult an immigration attorney on this issue.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onIf divorced then you need to file your own I-829. If this was a good faith marriage, you should be fine.
