Immigration AttorneyUsing gift money for an EB-5 project is one of the acceptable means of funding. However, there are a few guidelines that need to be followed: showing that the fund is legitimately earned by providing information on how the money was earned; and there may be a need to show that the laws of the relevant jurisdiction are also complied with by your parents. Also, be aware that the regional center you choose to deal with will also ask any of these of questions and more just to ensure that you and the regional center are in compliance with the law. Advisably, talk to an EB-5 attorney who can ensure that all the right issues are addressed before proceeding.
