A delay does not create a government guarantee of repayment. Review the genuine agreements and commercial remedies alongside the immigration capital rules: contractual investor repayment rights and guaranteed rates of return are excluded from qualifying EB-5 capital. Do not treat an advertised timeline as an automatic refund provision.

Identify default, extension and exit terms in the actual documents. The limited statutory exception for an enterprise-only discretionary buyback requires petition withdrawal on exercise unless applicable sustainment and other requirements have been fulfilled. It is not an investor repayment entitlement. Review the actual commercial and immigration consequences separately before relying on a proposed remedy.
The years that follow the investment carry their own costs: the removal-of-conditions filing, continuing professional advice, monitoring the project, and the effect of leaving substantial capital committed and at risk for the whole conditional period. Government charges are a third line: the initial petition, later stages for the family, and the eventual petition to remove conditions each carry their own charge under the published schedule, and they should be confirmed at the time rather than quoted from an older document. Get written quotes for accounting and legal review rather than working from estimates, and do not treat profits held inside a company as personal liquidity available for a tax bill, however healthy the business looks on paper.
