Verify the genuine revised arrangement and its effect on the investment evidence before relying on it.
Update the legal and funding record together
A new account instruction may require more than an administrative name edit. Confirm the actual parties and rights, and do not promise that a prior filing timetable remains valid regardless of the change.
Stop before sending funds and reconcile the structure. Obtain revised agreements, formation records, escrow instructions, bank-beneficiary confirmation, and an entity chart showing why the recipient changed; then update the lawful source-and-path narrative through the account. Determine whether the change affects targeted-employment-area or infrastructure eligibility, job creation, investor rights, or the filing choice. Regional-center investments use Form I-526E, while direct investments use Form I-526. US$800,000 applies to a qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure project; the general level is US$1,050,000. Ten full-time jobs remain required. The common mistake is allowing a filing date to outrun contradictory documents. A coherent transfer trail matters more than preserving a schedule built for the former recipient.
Hypothetical example: A clinic administrator in L’Anse-Saint-Jean plans a direct EB-5 investment in a U.S. medical facility, but counsel announces a new receiving entity days before the wire. She should delay payment until ownership, management rights, business plan, job projections, and account instructions identify the revision. Her bank documents must then follow the lawful funds into that entity. After immigrant processing, residence would be conditional, and Form I-829 must be filed within the 90-day period immediately before the second anniversary of obtaining that status; a rushed transfer cannot shorten that sequence.
