What is the difference between a conditional and unconditional green card?

Under the regulations an investor who is approved for the EB-5 Immigrant Visa receives a “conditional” green card becuase of the requirements that must fulfilled in the commitment of the investment and creation of the jobs that their money is to be used to create.  This conditional status must be either reissued after two years or is subject to removal of conditions through the application of form I-829.  Otherwise, the two cards offer the same rights and privileges with the excpetion that the Unconditional or permanent green card is good for 10 years between renewals.
