No. Have the actual proposed structure assessed before relying on it. Appropriate visa-contingent escrow can require review without assuming every condition must disappear first.
Coordinate the genuine transaction
A preferred closing date does not guarantee immigration timing. Describe current commitments honestly and avoid premature claims that the enterprise is already operating.
If the seller refuses escrow and insists on closing, the partners can still apply, but the money is then fully at risk in the ordinary sense and a refusal leaves them owning a U.S. business they cannot run in person. Escrow bridges the two: the funds leave the buyers' control and sit with a third party under written instructions, so they are committed, while a defined release or return condition addresses the refusal scenario. Confirm the regulator's actual ownership-change procedure before signing; establish who may lawfully perform interim work before anyone travels; settle escrow terms in writing before funds move. Conditions precedent, a financing condition or a landlord’s consent can leave a signed agreement fully reversible for weeks, and a deal the buyer may still walk away from has placed nothing at risk yet.
