Are there investment tracking systems in the EB-5?

Yes. The EB-5 program includes mechanisms that track where investor capital goes and how it is applied, precisely because the program ties the investment to job creation and the integrity of the process.

The USCIS (U.S. immigration service) requires documentation proving both the lawful source of the funds and their actual deployment into the project. These records help demonstrate that the investment is fulfilling the program’s purpose.

• Proof of the lawful source of the invested capital.
• Evidence that the funds were applied to the project.
• Oversight and audits of regional centers and projects.

For the investor, the best oversight combines these official controls with careful project selection. It is worth verifying the project’s reputation and the current requirements with USCIS before investing.
