Yes, you can use gifted funds for the EB-5 investment. As the giftor, your mother will need to provide documentation verifying the lawful source of funds. There is no need for the funds to be transferred to India and then returned to the U.S. You should discuss tax consequences with experienced tax counsel prior to transferring any funds either within the U.S. or in and out of India. Remember that the funds must be your personal funds transferred to the EB-5 business/project and you will need clearly document the path the funds took, referred to as tracing of funds.

It is not required that the money used for EB-5 investment must come from abroad. Your mom can gift you her earnings in the U.S. as funds for you to apply for an EB-5 visa. You don''t need to wire the money outside of the county before transferring them to the company you choose to invest.

Additionally, the gift must be properly documented. The funds do not have to be transferred to India but rather from your mother to your personal bank account in the US. Your mother may or may not be required to pay the federal gift tax in the US. A federal gift tax return will generally be required to be filed even if there is no federal gift tax payable. Your mother should consult a licensed CPA or a tax attorney in the US to discuss her specific federal gift tax situation. We are qualified to provide US federal tax advice. Do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions you may have.

Yes, you can use the gift from your mother. The money does not need to be wired back to India, as it will be problematic getting it out again. I suggest opening an account here or a joint account with your parent.

You may want to explore alternative options other than the EB-5 visa, depending upon your mother''s immigration history. Assuming the EB-5 does make the most sense for you, you will need to be able to show that the funds are yours and under your control not as a loan, but you do not need to transfer funds to India.

You should be able to use the money if your mother makes and documents an irrevocable gift to you.
