No. Petition approval is an important stage, but residence follows the applicable immigrant-visa or adjustment process and may be affected by visa availability.

EB-5 planning should separate the investor petition from the later residence and travel steps. For this question, focus on whether the applicant has completed the required visa or adjustment process and obtained the relevant status. Track petition adjudication, visa availability, consular processing or adjustment, and admission or approval as separate events.
Read the governing instruction together with the actual agreement, identity record, financial material, or corporate record that bears on the point. A short summary can organize the evidence, but it cannot cure a missing legal element. The answer turns on the documented arrangement, not on a label chosen for convenience.
Do not schedule US residence or employment on the assumption that an approved petition alone supplies either. Keep copies that show dates, authorship, and the connection between the claimed plan and the records. Where a rule has a time limit or a filing window, calculate it from the controlling event rather than from an informal target date.
Hypothetical example: an investor receives petition approval and signs a US employment contract for the following week. That example would call for a fact-specific review of the documents and timing before anyone relies on it. A remote consultation can help identify questions for the appropriate employer, business, or regulated adviser; it does not guarantee admission, a visa, or approval.
