The following are steps you should take after you obtain the I-829 denial notice.

1. Quickly consult with an experienced EB-5 practitioner to do a thorough evaluation of relevant facts, reasons and options you have at this point.

1. . Carefully read the I-829 denial notice to understand exactly what USCIS believes are the reason(s) for denying your I-829 conditions removal case.

3. Decide whether Motion to Reopen/Reconsider should be filed.
