Can I use money from several different accounts?

Yes. In the EB-5 program, there is no issue with combining the investment using funds from multiple accounts or different sources. What actually matters to the authorities is not how many accounts the capital came from, but that the lawful origin of each portion is clear and documented.

The program requires that the invested funds come from legal sources, and this applies to every amount added to the total. Resources from employment, prior investments, the sale of assets, or inheritance may qualify, as long as you can show, in a verifiable way, how each amount was obtained.

In practice, this documentation typically relies on records such as:

• Bank statements and records from the accounts involved.
• Tax returns and supporting tax documents.
• Documents explaining the origin of each resource, such as contracts, deeds, and estate inventories.

In other words, the key is transparency in tracing the funds. Because the source-of-funds analysis is detailed and sensitive, it is worth confirming the current requirements with USCIS or a qualified professional before structuring the investment.
