Summary
Beyond the investment amount, lawful source of funds is central to EB-5. This article covers proof directions for salary, company profits, property sales and similar sources.
Short answer: EB-5 applicants must show the investment funds are lawfully sourced — often salary savings, company profits, property or equity sales, or gifts. Documents should form a complete funding trail that withstands due diligence.
Common source directions
Employment income and bank statements
Company dividends or shareholder loans
Realisation of property or financial assets
Gifts from close family (donor’s source must also be shown)
