Can USCIS verify my business records in Brazil?

Yes. In the EB-5 process, proving the lawful source of funds invested is one of the central points of review, and USCIS may examine business records and financial transactions made outside the United States, including in Brazil, to confirm where the funds originated.

This review typically starts with the documents you submit and may involve additional inquiries if questions arise about the accuracy or consistency of the information. The more organized, coherent, and traceable your documentation is, the smoother the review process tends to be.

• Gather documents that show the full trail of funds leading to the investment.
• Keep your business and tax records consistent with one another.
• Align your documentation with the requirements of both countries involved.

Because the review is conducted on a case-by-case basis, it is worth organizing your documentation well in advance and seeking specialized guidance to confirm current requirements with USCIS.
