EB-5 translation: source-of-funds documents traced end to end
EB-5 source-of-funds evidence is checked transaction by transaction. We translate the Chinese bank, tax, property, company and remittance records that trace your investment back to a lawful source, with every figure double-checked.
USCIS requirement: Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), every foreign-language document submitted to USCIS needs a full English translation certified by the translator. Financial documents are number-dense, so ours get a dedicated check of every amount and date — not just a general proofread.
Core source-of-funds documents
Bank statements
The most scrutinized part of a source-of-funds file: every transaction, amount and date is checked. Each bank keeps one English name across all statements and supporting documents so it never looks like two institutions.
Tax records and tax payment certificates
Show that the funds come from declared income. Chinese tax types don't map one-to-one onto US concepts, so the translation states exactly which tax and income type each record covers.
Property and equity transfer documents
When funds come from selling property or shares: the sale contract, ownership certificate and any notarial documents, with amounts, dates and parties matching the bank records.
Company bylaws and shareholding charts
Show the applicant's ownership of the business that generated the funds, together with business registration records.
Remittance and foreign-exchange records
The path-of-funds link: outbound remittance slips and FX purchase vouchers, each matched to the corresponding bank-statement entry.
Gift and loan documents
Gift letters, loan agreements and the donor's or lender's own source documents, with relationship evidence such as kinship certificates where needed.
FAQ
Which documents need translation for EB-5 source of funds?
Usually bank statements, tax records, property or equity sale documents, company registration and bylaws, remittance records and gift or loan documents — the exact scope follows the evidence chain your attorney builds.
What goes wrong most often with bank statement translations?
Digit transcription errors and inconsistent bank names. A single misplaced digit makes the evidence disagree with other records, so financial documents get a dedicated number check in addition to normal review.
How is EB-5 translation priced?
Certified translation is $16 per page, counted from the real pages of your upload; minimum order $25. Statements running to many pages are quoted per file, and the quote is the final price.
Can the translations be submitted to USCIS directly?
Yes. Every order includes a signed translator's declaration and our registered bilingual translation seal, meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
