Treat that date as provisional. The deposit may be quick while a source-evidence gap remains unresolved; readiness depends on the whole case.
Do not let a banking event stand in for completed review
Identify what additional evidence can be obtained and what uncertainty remains. Neither the passage of time in an account nor a planned transfer guarantees acceptance of the source explanation or a particular immigration decision date.
The holdback agreement controls its commercial release; immigration rules control the petition and required evidence. The applicable residence process follows the investor petition and depends on eligibility and visa availability. A first review should separate the project’s offering calendar from petition filing, visa or adjustment processing, conditional-residence dates, and the later I-829 window. Keep source-and-path exhibits, job evidence, tax records, bank statements, and investment communications through conditional residence and the I-829 stage. Funding readiness does not determine approval, government timing or visa availability. If jobs remain unfilled, the petition may still be approved on evidence that they will be created within a reasonable time under a credible plan. Residence remains conditional for two years, and filing Form I-829 during the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary seeks removal of those conditions.
