I have income from doing transactions in the forex market, which is related to currency pairs. This income is in the wallet of the broker, and the records of the transactions are also clear. Can I proceed in this way for an EB-5 visa? Also, I am from Iran.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyYou can certainly use this money for the EB-5 petition. However, make sure that adequate documentation of how the money was earned is provided in support of your petition.

Be aware that cryptocurrency proof of funds will necessarily require counsel familiar with blockchain transactions or a service provider such as Chainalysis to provide the degree of tracing required.
