There are a number of factors that play into your EB- 5 application, each as significant as the next, with plenty of room for error – even after all the appropriate documentation has been submitted. It is highly recommended that you speak with the knowledgeable team at the Immigration Law Office of Los Angeles, PC for an in-depth look at what is needed to successfully apply for an EB-5 visa. A few primary requirements to consider, prior to starting your application:
Funding – While the EB-5 program greatly depends on the immigrant’s activity, interaction, and dedication to the invested site’s growth, the funds in which he or she supplies are equally as important. To that point the United States Citizens and Immigration Services (USCIS) has established strict guidelines when it comes to the source of said funds and enforces these rules diligently:
Unlawfully gained income is not considered legitimate by the USCIS and will be reported.
Income gained from previous employment will require five years worth of income tax returns, bank statements, and any available salary reports.
Any monies obtained as a gift will need documentation proving the transaction and why it occurred.
Sums of money gained through an inheritance and used as an EB-5 investment require a death certificate of the benefactor, notarized will, and statement indicating the relationship to the deceased.
Income obtained from the sale of a business, real estate, stock or other previous investment will require all appropriate documentation and receipts before being admissible.
