Examine the actual use and legal treatment of the payment. An administration label does not establish qualifying capital, and fees taken out before the required contribution reaches the investment can create a shortfall. Reconcile the subscription, payment instructions and capital account rather than relying on one combined invoice.
Check the net amount and continuing obligations
List the capital contribution, issuer charges, professional fees and family processing costs separately. If the project later requests more money, distinguish a contractual capital call from an automatic immigration top-up rule. A commercial loss, a returned contribution and an initial funding shortfall are different events and need different analysis.
Government fees are set out in the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, and include the I-526 petition fee, later the adjustment or immigrant-visa fees for each family member, and the I-829 fee; the EB-5 Integrity Fund fee applies to regional-centre investors rather than direct investors. The qualifying amounts under the 2022 legislation are one million fifty thousand dollars generally and eight hundred thousand dollars for a targeted employment area or infrastructure project; those figures are subject to adjustment and should be verified against current official sources before any commitment. Professional fees cover the source-of-funds documentation, which for a two-income household with savings, pension entitlements and property may span many years of records, and legal representation across a process lasting several years.
