I am a CPR currently awaiting I-829 adjudication since 2014. I was admitted into the US on my EB-5 application in 2012. I am a Taiwanese citizen who often travels between the US and Taiwan because I need to take care of my ailing mother. Unfortunately, I believe my I-829 petition will be denied due to fraudulent activity by the Regional Center principal. As such, I would like to ask what will happen if my I-829 petition is denied while I’m outside the US. Will my CPR status be terminated on the spot? Will I be barred from entry into the US because of the denial? Will I be able to appeal the decision while abroad? Will I be subjected to removal proceedings while I’m outside the US when my case is denied? If I do not wish to appeal my I-829 denial, can I file an I-407 to abandon my Green Card, and can I re-enter the US using ESTA after my Green Card abandonment?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyYou’ll be admitted into the US if the I-829 is denied while you’re abroad (assuming the airlines lets you board). You’ll likely end up in secondary inspection and may receive an NTA based on where you’re entering. My advice is for you to get an attorney; your questions rise above what you should be asking in a public forum. Good luck!
