Update for 1st question:
EB-5. “Capital can include Investors promise to pay (a promissory note) in certain circumstances”. In this case, do I have to prove that I have the full $800,000 (in the case of a TEA investment)? What are the “certain circumstances”? Is it difficult to convince to make a promissory note instead of investing all the money at once?
What is the normal and maximum acceptable term for repayment of a promissory note for an EB-5 visa?
Update for 2nd question:
EB-5. Will the government refund investments made in TEA under the EB-5 visa? I don't mean income. I mean a refund, like how it's done with a borrowing (I know you shouldn't give money as a loan). If it is not the government's responsibility, will the TEA return my money?
What are the chances that I won't get my money back?
By the way, separate from returning the “borrowed money”, will I have a profit from my investment in the TEA?
