Are there any tax implications for successful EB-5 applicants on their existing international assets obtained before they applied? Could they face tax liabilities on capital gains on existing foreign assets after residing in the U.S.?

There are tax treaties that may impact some residents. Existing assets in the U.S. or elsewhere are not exempt so pre-immigration tax planning is important.

I suggest consulting with an experienced attorney regarding the details and necessary reporting and compliance of these IRS regulations.
