Verify the actual contractual deadline and instruction change before relying on the message. A claim of urgency is not proof of authority or immigration readiness.
Keep a record of the verified decision
Seek clarification through an independently established contact and document the result. Resolving a payment question does not guarantee that an immigration deadline is extended or that the case can be approved on a particular date.
Your immigration clock is set by filing, visa availability under the Visa Bulletin, and later the removal of conditions, which is ordinarily filed during the ninety-day period immediately before the second anniversary of conditional residence. The date that governs the investment decision is not the approval of the first petition but the filing window two years after conditional residence begins. Assess the requirements applicable to the actual case; filing does not itself remove conditions or guarantee repayment. Record the date residence began through admission or adjustment, calculate the Form I-829 window during the 90 days before its second anniversary, and preserve the documents establishing that date. Form I-829 is filed within the ninety days immediately before the two-year conditional period expires, and it asks for proof that the enterprise was sustained and that the required employment was created or, in some circumstances, will be created within a reasonable time.
