Keep the original reporting date and obtain appropriate support for relevant later developments. Do not alter the period or present an assurance that was never given.
Separate historical evidence from current updates
Explain subsequent information using its actual source and date. The need for current evidence depends on the question and case stage, while immigration deadlines remain independent of the project’s reporting calendar.
The petition to remove conditions is filed during the ninety-day period immediately before the second anniversary of conditional residence, and problems discovered then leave little room to build evidence. Build a dated review file around the filing date, immigrant-visa or adjustment steps, conditional-residence start, project reports, and I-829 calendar. Record when conditional permanent residence began, calculate the Form I-829 window from that anniversary, and preserve capital, enterprise, and job evidence throughout the two-year conditional period. Under the 2022 Act the capital must be sustained for a minimum period tied to the investment date rather than to the whole conditional period, and current guidance should be checked. A projected return or a successful first petition does not eliminate the evidence needed after conditional residence begins.
