I am a Bangladeshi citizen. I am very interested in EB-5. But I do not know how it is possible to transfer that much amount of money from Bangladesh. I researched a lot about it and still, it seems its almost impossible to transfer funds from Bangladesh. Based on your experience, is there any way I can transfer the funds legally from Bangladesh?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyMy past Bangladeshi EB-5 clients have had international businesses and have been able to get paid for their business someplace outside of Bangladesh. I do not know of a way to legally transfer more than the $5,000 annual limit (last time I looked- it might be a different amount now) out of Bangladesh. You may want to contact a local lawyer there.
