Can USCIS interview the accountant who prepared my income tax return?

The immigration process, especially when it comes to the EB-5 visa, involves several analyses and checks by USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). For this reason, it is natural for applicants to wonder about the scope of investigations and verifications carried out by the agency, such as whether USCIS can interview the accountant responsible for preparing the income tax return.

In principle, USCIS has the authority to conduct detailed investigations and, if it understands that there is information or evidence that requires clarification, it can indeed request interviews with third parties – including accountants – to confirm data presented in documents or to verify the origin of invested funds, in the case of the EB-5.

This measure is not routinely adopted but may occur if there are significant inconsistencies or signs that some information needs additional confirmation. In other words, if USCIS identifies doubts or discrepancies in its analysis, an interview with your accountant may be one of the ways to obtain more clarity about the situation.

It is important to remember that the purpose of these interviews is to maintain the integrity and compliance of immigration processes, ensuring that all information is accurate and in accordance with United States laws and regulations. Having well-organized documents, consistent tax statements, and transparency regarding the source of funds is fundamental to avoid complications.

I always emphasize the importance of strictly following the country’s immigration laws, seeking guidance from professionals or companies specialized in the subject. It is also crucial to be vigilant and avoid scams and miracle promises of easy solutions that circulate around, since the process demands transparency, organization, and strict compliance with the rules.

If there is any doubt or sign of doubt in your case, seek a consultation with a qualified professional to obtain personalized guidance. Maintaining proper documentation and acting preventively can make all the difference in this type of procedure and ensure that your case is analyzed smoothly and correctly.
