Can a portion of EB-5 funds be via an unsecured loan from my current employer? For example, if I can raise $400k of my own funds, and another $400k of unsecured loan from my employer – would I qualify then?

USCIS will want to see the loan agreement and confirm that your employer is allowing the funds to be used for your investment (that the loan does not restrict the use of the proceeds).
