Common Questions

What does 'lawful source of funds' mean for EB-5?

USCIS requires EB-5 investors to demonstrate that their investment capital was obtained through lawful means. This includes documenting the path of funds from their original source (e.g., salary, business income, inheritance, property sale) through to the investment in the EB-5 project.

What documents are typically needed for source of funds?

Common documents include tax returns, business financial statements, bank statements showing fund accumulation, property deeds and sale contracts, inheritance records, loan agreements, and gift documentation. The specific requirements depend on the source of your funds.

What is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program?

The EB-5 program allows foreign nationals to obtain a U.S. green card by making a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The minimum investment amount depends on whether the project is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA).

How do I choose an EB-5 immigration attorney?

Look for an attorney with specific EB-5 experience, a track record with USCIS petitions, and familiarity with your investment type (direct or regional center). Verify their bar standing, ask about their approval rates, and ensure they can explain the process clearly.

What is the difference between direct and regional center EB-5?

Direct EB-5 requires the investor to directly manage or be involved in a new commercial enterprise. Regional center EB-5 allows passive investment through an approved regional center, which can count indirect and induced jobs toward the 10-job requirement.
