What evidence of jobs creation do I need for an I-829 filing?

I am planning to file my I-829 in three months. Does my I-829 require W-2s, I-9s or payroll report from the project, or can I just provide the current construction expenditure with the economic report? As for the economic report, can it be the same one as I used to file my I-526 or do I need a new one with current construction expenditures? thank you

  While you have pointed out some of the needed documents, it is highly advisable that you should consult an EB-5 attorney in filing I-829.

  You will need W-2s, quarterly payroll reports, proof of status. Since these cases take a long time to adjudicate, it is important to thoroughly address each of the required issues.

  It depends on how the jobs were to be created-you definitely want an updated economic report and K-1s to show investment was sustained until I-829 filing. I-9s may be required if operational jobs counted.

  Setting up a proper I-829 filing may require those items, but the specifics of your case will determine how to best prepare the documentation.

  If you invested in a regional center, the project should be providing you or your attorney with an I-829 filing template containing the appropriate evidence to demonstrate your sustained investment and the necessary job creation.
