Invest in anew chapter.

A Kawartha Lakes EB-5 investor whose capital depends on another transaction should distinguish available funds from contingent proceeds. EB-5 requires lawful source and path, qualifying capital at risk at the applicable US$1,050,000 standard or US$800,000 for a qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure project, and at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers. The investor must engage in management or policy formulation. A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may derive status; residence is conditional for two years and later requires Form I-829. A target payment date is not proof of completed funding. An EB-5 review should separate an investor’s liquidity from capital that has actually entered a qualifying structure. It tracks the lawful source and path, the commitment terms, the job-creation method, and the immigration stages that follow a petition. EB-5 capital must be placed at commercial risk and the investment must meet the applicable job requirement, generally ten qualifying jobs. Approval does not itself grant permanent residence; residence begins only through the appropriate immigrant-visa or adjustment process and is initially conditional. Hypothetical example: a rooftop-greenhouse fabricator expects an equipment sale to fund the investment, but the buyer requests a new condition. Expected proceeds must remain clearly distinguished from capital actually committed.
