EB-5 Seminar Los Angeles

The LA County Bar Association hosted an excellent EB-5 seminar on March 20th, with featured speakers including immigration attorneys Lincoln Stone, Linda Lau, and Mark Ivener, and corporate attorney Jor Law. Blake Goto and Sheila Fisher from the USCIS California Service Center were on hand for a Q&A period, and I presented a session on business plans for EB-5 purposes. The PowerPoint and handout from my presentation are available.

Report on CSC EB-5 Forum


The EB-5 Forum hosted at the California Service Center on 3/16/2010 was well attended and very interesting. As attendees we were able to interact directly with the people in charge of EB-5 adjudications, and I was gratified in the Q&A time to hear the importance of business plans repeatedly emphasized. I have prepared notes on the discussion, and copied the handout distributed at the event.
