Translations

Any documents containing a foreign language submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English language translation certified as complete and accurate by the translator, and by the translator’s certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language to English.

Copies

Unless an original document is specifically required to be filed with an application or petition, a legible photocopy may be submitted. Original documents submitted will remain a part of the record, even if the submission was not required.

FORM I-829, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS*

Three months before your conditional residency is set to expire, your immigration attorney will submit the I-829 petition to remove conditions on your green card. By providing the supporting documentation listed below, the USCIS will have cause to approve your petition and remove the conditions on your green card, thereby issuing a permanent green card.

*Documents will be provided by Houston EB5 to the attorney

Note: Your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may be admitted to the U.S. with you on a two-year conditional period. If your I-829 petition to remove conditions is approved, then the conditions will be removed from your spouse and children’s Green Card status as well.
