No. Filing is not the same as satisfying every applicable sustainment and other requirement or having conditions removed. Assess the proposed return under the actual facts and governing rules.
Keep the filing window distinct from the exit decision
The general I-829 window follows conditional residence, while a contractual exit has its own terms. Neither a filing receipt nor a scheduled anniversary automatically makes all repayment arrangements permissible.
The project borrower’s payment is not the same as the investor’s receipt or removal of conditions. The window for removing conditions does not move to accommodate a delayed build. The investor petition is decided on the facts at filing: the capital must already be invested or committed, and the threshold is the figure in effect that day. Track the actual residence date rather than calculating this window from the day the savings goal was reached. Business events can supply evidence; they do not reset the statutory window. Conditional residence begins on admission or adjustment, not on approval, and the I-829 window opens ninety days before its second anniversary. Remember that the conditional period and the I-829 window begin only when residence is granted, not when the petition is approved.
