Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyA reentry permit will most likely be granted up to the period of validity of the extension granted while the I-829 is pending. It is unlikely that a reentry permit will be granted for the full two year period a reentry permit is generally valid.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyPermission to return to a permanent residence in the United States requires identification of the applicant's permanent residence. Therefore, if the application to remove the condition, Form I-829, from the permanent resident status is denied, the applicant would no longer have a lawful permanent residence in the United States. Therefore, the validity of the permission to return would become invalid if and when the Form I-829 would have been denied.

While the investor is maintaining lawful conditional permanent residence, he may file for and be granted the reentry permit to preserve his permanent resident intent in the United States while he stays abroad at lengths.
