How does a Petrolia geologist evidence the source and path of EB-5 funds from a practice sale?

Source is shown with the share purchase agreement, the valuation, corporate and personal tax filings and the shareholders agreement. Path is shown with bank statements for every account the money passed through, the release of each tranche, records of currency conversion, and evidence of any debt discharged on closing.

A staged sale doubles the path evidence and halves nobody's patience

A sale paid in instalments is straightforward commercially and demanding evidentially, because each tranche has to be followed independently from the purchaser to the account that received it and onward to the investment. The file should open with a short chronology tying dates to documents, so that a reader can follow the money without reconstructing it. Beyond the transaction itself, the practice's own history matters: years of corporate filings showing the business earned what it was sold for, personal tax returns showing income declared, and any earlier transactions that built the shareholding.

Where part of the proceeds discharged a loan at closing, the loan agreement and the discharge belong in the file. Where funds sit briefly in a joint account, the co-holder becomes part of the story and their position needs explaining. Anything drafted in a language other than English has to be accompanied by a complete certified translation before it will be read.
