U.S. Investor Visa is Popular in South Africa, Source of Funds Remains a Critical Issue
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, March 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EB5 Affiliate Network (EB5AN), a leading EB-5 consultancy, regional center operator, and fund manager, will host a free webinar, “EB-5 Source of Funds: Best Practices for South African Nationals,” with guest panelists Stuart Ferguson of American Dream EB5 and Joseph Barnett of Wolfsdorf Rosenthal, LLP, on Thursday, March 4, 2021, at 11:00 AM PST.

An EB-5 visa requires a minimum investment of $900,000 or $1.8 million. Investors may use funds from a variety of sources, but the sources and flow of funds must be fully documented. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) applies considerable scrutiny to EB-5 green card applications, and the most common reason for EB-5 visa denials is unacceptable or inadequate source-of-funds documentation. It is imperative that people thinking of immigrating from South Africa know the rules.
Sam Silverman, managing partner of EB5AN, urges prospective EB-5 investors to think about source of funds as a first step. “We’ve seen a lot of interest from South Africans wanting to permanently relocate to the U.S. In some cases, they’re already spending part of the year in the U.S. and want to make it permanent with a green card. Others are looking westward for business opportunities or retirement. Before making an investment, it’s important that we discuss where the money is coming from,” said Silverman.
Created by the U.S. Congress in 1990, the EB-5 program provides a clear pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. Tens of thousands of families from nearly every country have successfully immigrated by making qualifying investments in U.S. projects and business enterprises. The EB-5 visa is popular among people currently living abroad as well as those already working in the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas.
