The whole point of the EB5 visa is that you are putting capital at risk.It doesn’t go to the government in the first place, why would they refund it? You are investing in a business. You may make a profit on it, or you may make a loss.

Update question
EB-5. Will the government refund investments made in TEA under the EB-5 visa? I don't mean income. I mean a refund, like how it's done with a borrowing (I know you shouldn't give money as a loan). If it is not the government's responsibility, will the TEA return my money?
What are the chances that I won't get my money back?
By the way, separate from returning the “borrowed money”, will I have a profit from my investment in the TEA?

I really think you need to read up properly on this. The “TEA” is not an entity, it is a description of a type of region. The idea behind EB5 is that you are making an investment in a business, and you may make a profit or you may make a loss, and you may recoup your investment in due course or you may end up losing it all. The chances of getting it back depend what business you invest in and how successful it is. That is what it means to place capital at risk. If you are looking at more certainty you should probably be looking at other types of golden visas rather than the US.
