Lightbulb Immigration through investment. EB5 Green Card

My question: Is it legal if someone gives me money as a gift and I invest them (I know the restrictions of EB5 Green Cards) or invest their own money from my name (that I don't own that money directly)? If yes than for how long should the investment be made?

Default Re: Immigration through investment. EB5 Green Card

I wish to inform you that under the provisions of section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5), 10,000 immigrant visas per year are available for qualified individuals seeking permanent resident status on the basis of their engagement in a new commercial enterprise. You may be eligible for EB-5 Green Card visa if you invest or are in the process of investing the prescribed amount of US$ 1,000,000 or US$ 500,000 as applicable. Eligible foreign nationals are investors who have invested, or are actively in the process of investing, the required amount of capital into a new commercial enterprise that they have established. The investors must show that this investment will benefit the U.S. economy and create the requisite number of full-time jobs for qualified persons within the U.S.
