L’ANSE-SAINT-JEAN · EB-5 FIELD GUIDE

What if a L’Anse-Saint-Jean investor’s transfer confirmation uses a different entity name?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Reconcile the difference with genuine records and the actual payment instructions.

Explain the link without assuming it

Determine whether a trade name, escrow arrangement or another real relationship explains the recipient. Do not invent a supporting letter or assert that the intended enterprise received funds before the evidence establishes the path.

Pause the transfer review until the mismatch is explained by genuine records. Compare the subscription agreement, escrow instructions, bank beneficiary details, entity formation documents, and regional-center materials; obtain a genuine correction or documentary link rather than a post-payment conclusion. Preserve the entire lawful source and path, including each intermediate account. The capital requirement is ordinarily US$1,050,000; it becomes US$800,000 when either a targeted employment area or infrastructure project qualifies. The plan needs ten qualifying full-time U.S. jobs. Use Form I-526E for a regional-center investment and Form I-526 for a direct one. The common mistake is correcting only the spelling in a cover letter while bank evidence still points to an unexplained recipient.

Hypothetical example: A retired pharmacist in L’Anse-Saint-Jean invests in a regional-center senior-residence project, but the wire receipt lists the escrow company rather than the partnership. She should retain the bank confirmation and match the escrow agreement, offering documents, account number, and later release evidence to that recipient. Her source file should trace documented sale proceeds through every account. A continuous path may explain the name; without it, an I-526E filing risks an avoidable gap.
