I am looking to raise funds for my project under the EB-5 program but am running into difficulties in my pro forma with a concept. If there is money in an escrow account, waiting for I-526 approval, when does interest start accruing? After the I-526 approval or after the lender releases the funds to the developer?

Immigration AttorneysInterest on escrow accounts are decided between the investor and developer. Some escrow accounts pay no interest. You need agreements set-up beforehand.
