What should I be careful about after submitting an I-829 application?

Ensure you do not commit any criminal offences, maintain your permanent residence, and obtain a re-entry permit in the event of any planned long-term absence outside the U.S. in excess of one year. The main issue at the I-829 stage is job creation.

Personally, avoid running afoul of the law. In essence, stay away from engaging in any crime-related activity that may lead to felonious prosecution. This can negatively affect your pending application. In addition, if there were to be any request for evidence (RFE), answer it promptly with the help of your attorney within the allowable period of time.

I assume the required jobs are already created. That is really the main thing at this stage. Other than that, you should not be away from the United States over six months if you can just limit your overseas travel. Needless to say, do not do anything foolish such as being arrested that could tarnish your record.

Nothing unusual. Do not commit a crime, notify USCIS for address changes, file for reentry permit if planning extended (outside the U.S. for longer than 180 days) trips.

If your attorney has timely-filed your I-829 petition to remove conditions, you should be careful about several matters including the following: not be charged with or convict any crime, timely-filed your I-829 petition with a receipt, and have a valid identity card.

Until the I-829 has been approved, you should make sure the business maintains its minimum job hire requirements and operates, and that you need to keep your investment in the business, etc.

In general, someone pursuing a green card should be mindful of legal troubles, especially crimes involving moral turpitude. As for the business, as of filing the I-829, you technically have fulfilled your obligations for job creation and sustaining your investment.

Try not to be out of the U.S. too much, do not get arrested, but mainly it is up to the project to show the 10 jobs were created and the capital was deployed.

Besides unauthorized extended stays, unintentional crimes, or unauthorized repayments, the hard part should be mostly over if all the jobs have been created. Monitor the situation closely with your attorney and he or she should be able to let you know if there is anything out of the ordinary.

Do not leave the US for over six months, or get arrested or do anything else to jeopardize your status.
