Not necessarily. Immigration eligibility and commercial suitability require separate analysis. Evidence supporting a petition does not establish that the investor can tolerate the offering’s liquidity restrictions, business risks or potential loss.
Ask two sets of questions
Have immigration counsel review the capital and job structure while an appropriate independent professional examines financial terms and suitability. Clarify whether either adviser has compensation or other relationships with the offering. Review the actual documents instead of assuming another investor’s approval resolves your decision.
No amount of due diligence guarantees a return, repayment date or approval of an individual immigration case. The failure mode is a compliant project treated as a suitable one. A structure can satisfy the programme requirements while carrying terms an individual investor cannot live with, including long lock-ups, subordinated security and no realistic exit.
The earliest signal is a conversation in which every question receives an immigration answer. Have counsel review the capital and job structure while an appropriate independent professional examines the financial terms and suitability, and ask each whether they hold any compensation or other relationship with the offering. The requirements remain constant: capital at risk in a new commercial enterprise, at least ten full-time positions for qualifying U.S.
workers, engagement by the investor in management or policy formulation, and conditional residence followed by a petition to remove conditions.
