Immigration AttorneyFor 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.
