How to prove the legal source of EB-5 investment funds in 2025

1. Proven sources of funds in EB-5 investment

USCIS does not limit the form of investment capital for the EB5 immigration program , as long as there is authentic and logical evidence to prove the process of forming the cash flow. Below are the common sources of capital that this agency accepts:

1.1. EB5 investment funds from business profits or dividends

As one of the most transparent and popular sources of funds accepted by USCIS, investors need to provide documents such as financial statements, shareholder meeting minutes, tax returns, and bank statements to prove the legitimate flow of funds. All documents must clearly show the actual profits of the business and that tax obligations have been fully met.

1.2. Sources of money from personal income (salary, bonus)

Personal income (salary, bonus) is a transparent source of money that is easy to prove if the investor has a clear work record. USCIS accepts documents such as employment contracts, payroll, tax returns and bank statements to confirm the legal source of income. The income level must be consistent with the job position, industry and tax history to ensure the logic and transparency of the cash flow.

1.3. Source of funds from selling assets/real estate

For this form of proof, the investor needs to provide a sales contract, certificate of ownership, tax documents and receipt statements to prove the legality of the transaction. The entire process of selling and transferring money must be clearly shown, with authentic documents, to prove the legal and traceable cash flow.

1.4. EB-5 investment funds from inheritance or gift

Inheritance or donation is a form of legal asset transfer recognized by USCIS if there is full supporting documents. Investors need to prepare a will, notarized gift certificate, and a donor's account statement to show the transparency of the source of funds. USCIS strongly emphasizes the requirement that these documents be properly notarized to ensure the reliability and legality of the transaction.

1.5. EB5 investment capital from legal bank loans

This form will be accepted by USCIS when fully meeting financial regulations by providing a loan agreement, documents proving assets as collateral and a clear repayment plan. It is important that the loan must be issued by a legitimate financial institution and absolutely not use the EB-5 investment itself as collateral.

1.6. Proof of source of funds from investment profits, securities or savings

The source of funds from investment profits, securities or savings is often used in EB-5 applications if adequate documents such as stock purchase statements, savings books and interest receipts can be provided to confirm the legitimate profits. USCIS also requires proof of the original source of the investment or deposit to ensure that the entire flow of funds is transparent and legal.

2. How much money to invest in EB5?

The question of how much money to invest in EB5 is always the first question of many investors when learning about the program. Currently, the minimum EB-5 investment capital is 800,000 USD for projects in targeted employment areas (TEA) or 1,050,000 USD for regular areas. However, the most important thing is to prove that the source of EB5 investment funds must be clear, transparent and legal. Investors need to prepare financial documents such as tax reports, bank statements, transfer or donation contracts, to meet the strict review standards of USCIS.
