Can I receive financial assistance in the form of a loan or gift from an individual who is also a partner in the EB-5 project? The purpose of this support would be for a direct investment, with one of the partners expressing a willingness to lend around $500K, the rest of the funds comes from my liquid assets. Furthermore, is it mandatory for the investment in the EB-5 project or company to correspond proportionately to the ownership interest in the company? For example, can I, being a 20% owner, put up 60% of the required funds?
