So even though you have passed the approval stage will conditions for removal be denied?

Hopefully those of us in the Marriot project will be ok as the lease has already been signed. Not a lot we can do about it now apart from pray!!

Re: EB5 - American Life

The US immigration asked for the removal of clause from Am Life contract regarding refund if green card application was not successful. This means that we are at even more at risk if the required no of direct/indirect jobs requirements are not met! I hope I am wrong.

It went really well. The whole process only took about 2 hours which was a surprise because we had not sent any of our documents to NVC before hand. They did all the paperwork at our interview.
