How is Form I-551 related to my EB-5 investment? I am an EB-5 investor and I have successfully passed my immigrant visa interview in a foreign consulate. I was given an immigrant visa on my passport and on that visa I saw the following sentence: "Upon Endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidence permanent residence for 1 year". What does this sentence mean? What exactly is the I-551 and how does it affect my EB-5 status? I have landed in the United States. Can I leave this country temporarily for any reason?

The I-551 endorsement and the immigrant visa stamped in your passport allows you to make one entry into the U.S. as a conditional permanent resident. Once you have made that initial entry you do not need to use the stamp again as you will be able to re enter the U.S.with your new conditional residency card.
