No. The gift is a gift — not EB-5 capital, not equity, and with no promised return. It is made in the instructed form, when instructed. Company value on paper does not satisfy it, so plan liquidity: US$15,000 plus US$1,000,000 for you alone, US$2,030,000 for a couple.
Liquidity planning, and the costs that sit outside these figures
A family of four following the individual route reaches US$4,060,000 on the same arithmetic. Only the US$15,000 processing fee is explicitly non-refundable; do not assume that characterisation extends to every other amount. Government visa fees, medical examinations and professional representation are additional and separate, and you can ask counsel and your accountant for written quotes rather than working from estimates. Confirm timing of each payment against the official instructions.
A gift to the U.S. government is not capital, produces no return and creates no claim on any enterprise; EB-5 capital is invested at risk and may be returned or lost. The obvious comparison is EB-5, which places capital at risk in an enterprise that must create ten jobs and which can, if the project succeeds, return the money. EB-1/EB-2 eligibility, admissibility and visa availability remain conditions for each applicant; a gift is not EB-5 capital, equity or guaranteed repayment.
