Do I need to have earned the money for the investment myself to qualify for an EB-5 visa or an E-2 visa? | Gerstein & Gerstein Attorneys, PA | https://usaimmigrationlaw.com/ | (954) 947-6060 | 800 E. Cypress Creek Rd., Ste. 301, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334-3522

The EB-5 immigrant investor visa and the E-2 non-immigrant investor visa, require that the applicant make an investment of course. It is possible that the funds are inherited, they are gifted, or some other hybrid situation, but they do not have to have been earned particularly by the person that's applying. However, in all circumstances it must be shown that the funds were obtained legally.
