The honest and harsh truth is that the answer to this question keeps changing. Any level of attempt to address this question would be void, and in all possibilities, an answer written today is likely to fail to hold true by the time a reader reads. You should hence seek a consultation from your consultant to get a real time update (as of the date of your question). Alternatively, you can contact any of our office locations in India for updated information as on date.
That said, below is a fast forward recap of the situation on the captioned subject as of October, 2020:
The amended USCIS regulations don’t mandate the investment to remain on US soil after I-829 is filed. Earlier, the requirement was to keep the amount invested till I-829 was adjudicated. With the new regs, an investor will be able to seek his invested capital back from the Regional Center at least 2 years earlier. This is a welcome move.
To summarize, one should expect 2 years at a minimum for getting the I-526 approved, and somewhere around of 6 years for return of invested capital.
