Does a Regional Center need to retain all investor filings, such as the I-526E and I-829 petitions? We lease our Regional Center designation to a project, but the investors and their attorneys have declined to provide complete I-526E filings due to privacy concerns. Could this affect our compliance obligations?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysMost RCs I have worked with are not requesting entire petition copies, as investors are not comfortable sharing these. You should request their documents issued by USCIS in connection with the case (receipt, approval notice, green cards).
