What is the difference between a “conditional” and a “permanent” green card?
Following government approval of your case, you will obtain a conditional green card. Your rights under the conditional green card and the permanent one are the same. The only difference is that the conditional green card lasts two years. The investor will apply to have his or her conditional green card converted to a permanent one after two years. At that time, the investor must show that his or her funds have been invested, and continue to be “at risk”, and that the required jobs are being created.
