You must be willing to put the USD 500.000 at risk otherwise don't do it. Personally, I do not know anybody who has their money back in full. We will learn about our own exit strategy probably next year but it is quite likely that it will be a process that will take many more years. In the mean time, we receive a modest annual yield.

There are a number of other posters on this forum who have gone the same route succesfully. A search of past forum threads on EB-5 will give you much more information than only this thread. With success I mean getting the unconditional greencards, not so much getting your money back on short notice.
