Match the official instruction, applicant, required amount and actual payment confirmation.
Do not confuse initiation with completion
A bank request can show that a payment was initiated without establishing that the programme credited it correctly. Keep the actual confirmations and resolve discrepancies through the proper channel.
A dated copy of the executive order and the official programme page and questions-and-answers, personal eligibility and identity documents, and evidence of the lawful source of the funds to be paid. A dated copy of the official terms relied on, any official correspondence or notice received, proof of each payment and its stage, and the corporate resolutions if a company is sponsoring. Collect identity and family information, define the precise proposal under consideration, and confirm current eligibility, funding, and instruction questions. USCIS and the Department of State may request additional information, but the FAQ does not publish an EB-5 lawful-source standard or a universal list of civil and police documents. Retain dated official pages, payment instructions from an official source, identity records, and all communications, but do not treat promotional attachments as controlling proof. Wire instructions directing the money to a private company, a consultant’s account or an unidentified escrow do not match that description and should be checked against the official page before anything is sent.
