A seller’s commercial promise does not establish government approval, visa availability or immigration timing.

Identify the permission required for any intended U.S. activity. Completing a purchase does not itself authorize employment or permanent residence.
Use a staged calendar: source documentation, capital commitment, petition preparation, visa-availability or adjustment steps, conditional residence, job and capital evidence, then the later I-829 stage. Each stage requires current facts, not merely an earlier forecast. Hypothetical example: a data-center cooling venture expects to hire its tenth employee eighteen months after the investor obtains conditional residence.
The parties should test the employment schedule against the governing job requirement and retain payroll evidence as jobs are created. Capital must be invested or actively in the process of being invested when the applicable petition is filed, but that petition does not itself permit employment or create residence. Processing and visa availability can affect the timeline, so a project completion date is not a personal immigration date.
Near the end of conditional residence, Form I-829 is generally filed during the 90-day period before the second anniversary. The first review should identify records that must be preserved now for that later filing and should not promise a fixed approval date. Review the visa bulletin and current procedural requirements at the relevant stage, because availability and processing steps may change.
The investor should update planning assumptions without representing an uncertain date as guaranteed.
