I am planning to take loans from a few friends in the US to fund my EB-5 investment as my personal funds in my home country, though entirely legal, are not easily explainable from USCIS standards relating to the source and path of funds. I plan to repay my friends from these funds immediately after submitting the I-526E petition. Is there any risk in this course of action? Would I be asked by USCIS, at any stage, to explain the source and path of funds used to repay the loan taken for EB-5 investment?
