The evidence should explain the lawful source, distribution and transfer path through to the actual investment.
Reconcile the relevant stages
Use accurate records of the company and transaction, including applicable tax evidence. A final bank balance may leave the origin and entitlement unexplained even when the amount is sufficient.
Document EB-5 as a continuous trail rather than a stack of final balances. Start with the event that generated the money, then include ownership evidence, contracts, tax records, bank statements, exchange records, and each transfer into the new commercial enterprise or qualifying escrow. If funds were gifted or borrowed, preserve the donor’s or lender’s source evidence and the security terms as well. A first review should identify unexplained deposits, cash movements, mismatched names, and dates that reverse the supposed order of events. The project documents must also explain the capital deployment, job creation, and the investor’s management or policy-formulation rights. The capital remains subject to risk, and any resulting residence is conditional pending the later removal-of-conditions process. Hypothetical example: an orchid nursery owner receives proceeds from a share redemption paid in two instalments. The share register, redemption resolution, corporate statements, personal tax reporting, and both bank wires settle the origin. A single letter from the company president cannot replace the records showing that the company actually authorized and paid the redemption.
