Legal Backing
View Official Court Ruling
Goldwater's model is built on the landmark Zhang v. USCIS ruling :
"Cash is fungible... the buyer's source of cash—whether paycheck, gift, or loan—makes no legal or practical difference."
By retaining $300K–$400K of your capital outside the EB-5 structure :
You could invest in equity markets, potentially compounding at 12-13% or invest in your
business/RE
Over 5 years, this creates an opportunity value of ~$240K — making the net cost of your Green Card dramatically lower.
