How can I use money from U.S. sources to invest in EB-5?

There is no issue to use U.S.-sourced funds from H-1B employment accumulated over time. You should hire an experienced EB-5 immigration counsel who will review your source of funds documents, including your tax returns and pay stubs, and competently prepare your I-526 petition for submission to USCIS. A direct EB-5 case must be accompanied by a five-year, EB-5-compliant, comprehensive business plan and a new commercial enterprise in which you will invest in must be properly structured to avoid you violating your H-1B visa terms. We have handled many cases like this.

This is fully permissible.

They can be used. Show tax returns pay stubs, etc.

You may use lawful U.S. source funds for the purposes of making the EB-5 investment. As part of your EB-5 petition on Form I-526, you must show a lawful source of funds which can include proof of your savings from your U.S. employment.

You can use the funds earned in the U.S. for an EB-5 investment.

You can use funds/income earned in the U.S. as source of funds for EB-5 investment. You will need to provide tax, income and savings account documentation to show legal source of funds derived from income.

As long as I can track them from lawful sources (like lawful U.S. employment) into your personal account and then to the project, it should be fine. I hear this a lot, but there is no EB-5 regulation that I know of that specifies that the investment capital has to be from in or out of the U.S. Could be either!

Yes, you can use the income generated within the U.S. for EB-5 investment.

As long as you can document your source of funds of the U.S. income, there is absolutely no problem in using those funds for your direct EB-5 investment.

The source of the funds from the U.S. income is perfectly fine. In fact, it might be easier to prove, as you don&#39t have to translate any documents from your home country. Further, you generated income on your H-1B visa, which makes it legal to work in the U.S. You definitely can use it as a lawful source of the funds.

Funds earned legally in the U.S. are allowed to be used for EB-5 investments. You will want to include documents showing how you earned and saved the funds.

Perfectly acceptable. Have your 1099s/W-2s from the years you earned the seed money, as well as statements from your investment accounts showing your earnings throughout the years.
