Does the USCIS accept proof of blood donation as a source of funds?

No. The EB-5 program requires investors to demonstrate that the capital invested has a lawful and traceable source. Blood donation, however generous the gesture, does not generate income or assets and therefore cannot serve as proof of the source of funds.

What the USCIS typically expects is a consistent documentary trail linking the invested capital to a legitimate source. Documents commonly used include:

• Tax returns.
• Bank statements and records.
• Business financial statements and corporate documents, when the funds come from a business.
• Contracts or records explaining inheritances, asset sales, or other capital inflows.

The core requirement is coherence: the capital must be traceable from its origin all the way to the investment. Since each case is reviewed individually, it is advisable to confirm the accepted documentation with the USCIS and work with a qualified specialist, avoiding any promises of easy outcomes.
