No. The ordinary window is the 90 days before the second anniversary of conditional residence, which begins at immigrant admission or adjustment approval.
Keep the construction and status records separate
Project events may matter to evidence, but they do not replace the person’s residence-start date. Record the actual immigration event for each applicable case and assess the required evidence. Filing I-829 does not by itself remove conditions or release capital.
Ask the regional center for its construction and job-creation timeline, and separately confirm current USCIS processing times and Visa Bulletin movement for the applicable category. If an official response deadline already applies, track that actual deadline rather than assuming a records request pauses it; no preparation milestone promises adjudication timing. Maintain petition receipts, notices, visa-bulletin checks, identity records, medical-process instructions, travel history, and job-creation evidence appropriate to the case. The investor generally submits Form I-829 within the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary; confirm exact current instructions rather than estimating from an announcement.
