That the capital is lawfully sourced and fully traced, that the enterprise will create at least ten qualifying full-time jobs attributable to this investment, that the investor has a management or policy role, and that the money is genuinely at risk. Paying the amount is the beginning of the evidence, not its end.
Treat the amount as one of four proofs
The investment threshold is the easiest condition to meet and the least of the work. Source of funds requires a documentary history of where every dollar came from, which for a sold business means the sale itself, the years of income that built the business and the tax returns that reported them. Job creation belongs to the project, but the investor must be able to show it, so the sponsor's economic analysis, its job-creation methodology and the order of investors in the count matter to this file.
Engagement in management is shown by the rights the offering documents grant. At-risk means there is no guaranteed return of capital and no arrangement that repays the investor regardless of outcome. Finally, the investor and family must be admissible, and a criminal record, prior immigration violation or medical issue can stop a case that is otherwise perfect.
Review admissibility early, before money is committed.
