To obtain Conditional Permanent Residency (and later, Permanent Residency and Citizenship) through the EB5 program, you must make a personal investment. That is, the funds must be from you and you alone. The source of these funds can be from gifts from family or many other sources. Authenticating the source of investment funds and planning for the investment to comply with USCIS rules, regulations, and procedures, is best served by retaining qualified and experienced EB5 counsel, like the attorneys at our law firm.
