No. EB-5 conditional residence begins at immigrant-visa admission or adjustment approval, not the investment date or petition receipt.
Keep the immigration record with the calendar
Identify the actual residence event before calculating the ordinary I-829 window in the 90 days before its second anniversary. A project repayment estimate or reporting year cannot reset that anniversary. Filing the petition to remove conditions does not itself guarantee removal or require the enterprise to return funds.
List construction or business milestones beside the actual immigration steps without treating them as interchangeable, and check current official processing information and the Visa Bulletin directly. Two-year conditions also cover a qualifying spouse and children who are unmarried and younger than 21, or a child who remains under 21 for immigration purposes after any applicable Child Status Protection Act calculation; payment timing neither starts nor completes Form I-829. While a timely I-829 is pending, residence continues and is documented by the receipt notice, which extends the permanent resident card, so the family remains lawfully present even if adjudication takes longer than the two years.
