Do the other, non-EB-5 investors in regional center projects also have to prove that their funds come from a lawful source just like the EB-5 investors have to? If they aren't, could this end up affecting my I-526 petition, even if my own money is fine? How can I verify whether the other funds are lawful?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryIt is not a requirement for non-EB-5 investors to prove their source of funds. I do not think it very likely that this could affect your process.
