SAINT-MATHIAS-SUR-RICHELIEU · EB-5 FIELD GUIDE

Can the home purchase and the EB-5 contribution use the same budgeted funds twice?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

No. Identify the actual amounts allocated to the personal purchase and the qualifying investment, with separate fees and household needs.

Reconcile the real commitments

A large combined asset budget does not show that the enterprise received the required capital. If a genuinely mixed arrangement is proposed, obtain a fact-specific assessment rather than assuming the whole purchase price serves both purposes.

Separate reserve restrictions, operating needs and any proposed distribution terms. Do not add a premium again merely because the enterprise paid it from invested funds. The total depends on the actual review scope, and payments can fall due at different stages. An advertised package price can omit material commitments, and a quoted potential return does not describe the full financial exposure involved. Classify each charge by its actual contractual purpose, refundability, recipient, and use. Trace the investor’s lawful source and complete path of funds into the new commercial enterprise, then verify how each claimed job is supported. All government amounts are on USCIS Form G-1055 and change periodically. Currency movement between the transfer date and the investment date is a real exposure on a sum of this size.
