Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysAs a rapper once said, "it's all about the Benjamins, baby." The primary concern is your source of investment funds. Your education will only play a small factor when you are applying at the consulate for your visa or to USCIS to adjust your status.

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysIt is not a requirement under the law. If you lawfully earned, received and/or were gifted your funds, then that will be one of the primary concerns. Nonetheless, I would recommend preparing a biographic statement and resume concerning your past education, employment experience and business history.

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysThere are no specific requirements. Whether or not to include your resume will depend on the source of funds strategy used to prepare your I-526 petition. If your lawful source of funds is from business income or employment, you should include a resume to demonstrate your employment history or business activities throughout the years. If funds come from loan proceeds, a gift or inheritance, there is no need to include a resume.
