An escrow timetable does not grant work permission. Coordinate the commercial arrangement with the actual immigration process and authorized activity.
Do not treat conditional ownership as admission
Record which conditions remain open and who performs operating work meanwhile. A seller’s request for early assistance does not authorize the buyer to manage the enterprise from inside the United States. Review the planned activity and actual status before accepting duties; releasing funds later does not retroactively supply permission.
The seller receives the money at closing under this structure, but whether a six-week target is workable depends on document readiness and current interview availability; do not waive the condition merely to meet the target. Keep launch commitments, supplier deadlines and lease or service contracts on the same calendar as the immigration steps, and treat every date as provisional because neither approval nor a processing time can be promised in advance. Holding funds in escrow against approval is the usual way of reconciling those two pressures, and it has to be drafted so the capital stays at risk rather than freely recoverable; confirm the treatment under current guidance before signing.
