How can an Indian native transfer the EB-5 investment to the U.S.?

Speaking to the investment part only (a financial professional will be helpful for the rest), when there are currency restrictions, the use of third parties may be helpful. Or if you have funds that are already out of India, you can work that in. Investment funds do not have to be from a single source or single transaction.

Thousands of Indian nationals have faced the same situation as you and they have successfully petitioned for EB5. It can be done. The U.S. banks would love you to transfer all your life savings to the U.S.

I am not an Indian lawyer or accountant, so I can''t tell you exactly how it is done. But I have represented many Indian clients who made EB-5 investments and got their money transferred from India to the U.S. I am aware that you are limited to transferring $250,000 a year without any permissions. But I know you can apply to the central bank of India and get permission to transfer out more than $250,000. You should check with your local bankers, lawyers, and chartered accountants in India.

Your investment must be sustained in the new commercial enterprise until you have completed your two-year conditional residency period. Some investors use friends and family to help them in transferring their capital out of the country.
