Publisher’s Note
This issue arrives at a time when the EB-5
industry’s focus is squarely on Washington. The
EB-5 Regional Center Program has been extended
once again. EB-5 stakeholders are looking to Congress to enhance our
job-generating, pro-American immigration program.
I want to encourage the EB-5 community to unite and help push
a unified message. In this issue we gather the opinions of industry
leaders to emphasize the importance of raising the EB-5 visa
allotment. I invite all EB-5 industry stakeholders to read this article and
understand that, without more visas, U.S. jobs will suffer and projects
will not get funded.
If the visa cap is raised, we all win. The American people gain jobs and
billions of dollars in economic stimulus. And investors, what do they gain?
An American education for their children. Financial security outside of
an unstable economy. Both their investment immigration goals and their
investment dollars go toward building a successful future for all of us.
More than once, I’ve used this space to emphasize the American jobs,
economic stimulus, and the many benefits that the EB-5 program brings
to the American people. Mickayla Zinsli’s article inside highlights the
positive impact EB-5 has on American entrepreneurs. The extensive
positive impact of the EB-5 program remains critically important to voice.
We also asked economist Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and U.S. Rep. Will Hurd
to join us for a Q&A on EB-5 and to share their views on the future
of the EB-5 program. I am pleased to share their exclusive interviews
as well as migration agency CEOs Liu Yu and Rachel Zou, who give
great insight into their respective businesses. This issue also offers
the perfect opportunity to share an article from Austin Fragomen and
Chad Ellsworth on the dangers of dual representation. Transparency
at all levels will continue to make our industry stronger, and these
experienced EB-5 partners share their perspectives on how best to
pursue this goal as immigration attorneys in the EB-5 space.
See you in January for the fourth annual Las Vegas EB-5 & Investment
Immigration Convention!
Sincerely,
Ali Jahangiri
