New Procedures Will Affect I-829 Dependents’ Process for Travel Outside US

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) appear to have stopped issuing I-829 application receipts to dependents of EB-5 visa applicants. These receipts are issued after an EB-5 visa applicant files their I-829 application to remove conditional resident status. They allow EB-5 applicants and, historically, their dependents to travel out of the US.

At this point USCIS has begun issuing biometrics notices to applicants and their dependents. Once applicants and their dependents go through the required biometrics process, which includes providing fingerprints and a photo as a USCIS Application Support Center, they will have a sticker attached to their conditional green card. This process extends the conditional green card for one year, enabling travel outside of the US. If required, the extension can also be lengthened.
