Can USCIS check my business records in Brazil?

When it comes to the EB-5 visa, proving the legal source of the invested funds is one of the crucial points of the process. For this, USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) requires detailed documentation demonstrating the trajectory of the investments, which may include information about companies and transactions carried out in other countries, such as Brazil.

In practice, if you use funds originating from businesses or financial transactions in Brazil, it is possible that USCIS or the officers reviewing your case may seek evidence to corroborate the legality and origin of the funds. This may involve reviewing Brazilian business records, either through documents you submit at the time of application or through subsequent inquiries if there are doubts about the regularity of the information.

Therefore, it is essential to keep all documentation organized, up to date, and aligned with the legal requirements of both countries. It is also worth noting that properly following immigration laws is indispensable to avoid setbacks or misinterpretations during the process.

Thus, whenever possible, it is worthwhile to seek guidance from specialized professionals and reliable sources to ensure that all documents and information comply with what is required. Furthermore, be cautious with offers and marketing campaigns that promise ease or guaranteed results – case analysis is conducted based on the documentation presented and careful verification of records, aiming to ensure transparency and the legality of the investment.

Staying well informed and acting in accordance with legal requirements is the best way to proceed safely with the immigration process. I hope this explanation has helped you understand how USCIS may act, and remember to always seek specialized support to navigate this path safely.
