EB-5 source of funds update: What are the courts saying?
By Bernard Wolfsdorf Recent EB-5 decisions offer investors meaningful grounds to challenge excessive source-of-funds demands. They also show why a strong legal argument cannot replace a documented financial history. The emerging picture is nuanced: several courts have limited USCIS’s inquiries into a currency exchanger’s independent wealth, while other decisions uphold scrutiny of the investor’s own assets, completed transfers, and intermediaries. Two September 2026 rulings—Voja and Tran—make those distinctions particularly important. Battineni: Limits on tracing, but different results for two investors In Battineni v. Mayorkas, 752 F. Supp. 3d 195 (D.D.C. 2024), the court rejected an expansive tracing requirement for one investor, including a demand to establish where a third-party lender obtained its funds. But it upheld the denial of the other investor’s petition because the evidence did not adequately establish the lawful source of part of his investment. The decision supports challenges to excessive upstream inquiries. It does not establish that identifying an immediate payment source automatically satisfies the investor’s burden. Zhou and Sun: Focus on the investor’s lawful acquisition In Zhou v. Noem, No. 19-cv-2650, 2025 WL 416152 (D.D.C. February 6, 2025), the court rejected a denial centered on how a currency exchanger accumulated the dollars supplied in an […]
