The petition must be adjudicated, then a visa number must be available and the immigrant visa or adjustment completed, then two years of conditional residence, with Form I-829 filed in the 90 days before the second anniversary. Timelines vary and no one should promise a date.
Plan for stages, not a single move date
Hypothetical example: a Quispamsis couple wants to sell their house and move within the year. The EB-5 sequence has stages that cannot be compressed by effort: USCIS adjudication of the petition, visa availability under the annual limits and country of chargeability, consular immigrant-visa processing, admission as conditional permanent residents, a two-year period, then Form I-829 filed in the ninety days before the conditional period ends.
Each stage has its own processing time, and current USCIS and State Department timelines should be checked rather than relied on from a promoter's brochure. The couple should keep their Canadian home until the immigrant visa is in hand, maintain records showing the investment is sustained throughout, and understand that spending time in Canada after admission as permanent residents has consequences for residence that need separate advice.
