Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersYes, you can. You should consult a local attorney in your home country to properly structure transfers. Often people use trusted friends or family members, or third parties to transfer funds. It is necessary to document the transfers from source to a target investment in the US with bank statements and affidavits. Please do not hesitate to contact us for guidance and assistance.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersYes it is possible to get around the money transfer limits. Most countries have money transfer limits. One possibility is to have another person transfer money on your behalf and you pay that person back in your country. However it is important to keep proper documentation of this transaction.
