No. It records a transaction, while the actual source and earlier path may need supporting evidence. Explain how the investor obtained and moved the funds.
Trace the genuine sequence
Do not describe an intermediary account as the original source. Identify actual ownership and each relevant step without fabricating missing records.
The immigrant investor category requires an investment of the qualifying amount in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, made with capital the investor obtained lawfully, with the investor engaged in management or policy formulation. The regional-centre programme allows indirect and induced jobs computed by economic modelling; a direct investor must count actual employees on the enterprise's payroll. A documented arm's-length sale is a helpful anchor for the lawful-source history, but questions about how the land was originally acquired, whether it was jointly owned, and how proceeds were divided still need answers. Prepare an investor-specific eligibility sheet covering lawful capital placed at risk, applicable amount and project location, job methodology, and management participation.
