Then you have your answer.

your uncle must have signed an investor's agreement. that agreement will dictate when the money will be returned. you need to read the agreement and reach out to regional center .  this is not an immigration question though

You have asked for specific answers and provide no information.

 

Generally I look at an EB5 as buying a Green Card any money you get back is a bonus. He must have applied sometime ago through a regional scheme with that amount. You do not even mention the scheme.

 

You mention you have a Lawyer who presumably have perused the terms of the agreement, there are exit clauses and I would think it very unlikely your Uncle would have invested without both legal and financial advice so I would start by contacting those advisers.

EB5 is notorious for locking down the money. most likely uncle must have invested money in regional center. They usually have a lock in period for 5-7 years for the money or until the applicant gets their Conditonal green removed but at no point are they required to return the money before maturity. 

 

in this case , they need to approach the regional center for the refund but the regional center has no obligation to return until the 5-7 year period. everything matters what was written in the contract
