No. The investment, lawful funding, job creation and other applicable requirements need evidence and review.
Assess the transaction rather than the deadline
Confirm current thresholds and project facts. A sponsor’s acceptance of funds is a business event, not a determination that the applicant meets immigration requirements.
The investment structure must create at least ten full-time positions for qualifying United States workers, which is the employment level the applicable EB-5 rules require. Do not double-count a position or assume anyone with work permission is necessarily a qualifying EB-5 employee; counsel should review the applicable employee categories. Gifted funds are acceptable capital provided the gift is genuine, with no obligation to repay, and provided the donor's lawful acquisition of the money can be documented. Lawfully obtained loan proceeds contributed as cash do not have to be secured by the investor's own assets under current USCIS policy, but their lawful source, path, terms and use must be documented. A petition rests on the facts presented for a specific investment, so a change to the entity, the use of capital, the job model, or the investment basis can affect whether those facts still hold.
