How much of my wealth do I need to prove for an EB-5 visa?

For immigration purposes, EB-5 investors only need to establish the lawful source for the EB-5 investment capital amount, which is $500,000 for investments made into projects situated in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). However, for securities purchase purposes, an investor may need to establish that he/she has net assets or net income exceeding certain thresholds to be deemed an accredited investor. Investors should communicate with the offering projects or securities counsel to better understand this requirement.

Yes, you only need to prove the source of funds for the $500,000, not for your entire wealth.

You will need to show the source of funds for the $500,000 that you invest in the United States.

You need to prove the source of the $500,000 and you may list your other assets to show that you are an "accredited investor" for SEC purposes.

While there may be a few questions about your total net worth, the only question that will likely matter is the $500,000 you put on the table for the EB-5 filing. However, be on guard that the question of whether your total net worth itself came from legal source(s) would affect how the EB-5 fund is perceived. So, expect questions on both issues.

You only have to prove the source of funds for the investment amount, but you should also explain where the regional center admin fee came from.

USCIS requires that you prove the lawful source of funds for the investment amount of $500,000.

Regional center-sponsored projects usually require accredited investors, which need a net worth of $1 million USD. You only have to prove the source of the investment funds (the $500,000).
