Stakeholder Meeting Q&A
October 12, 2011 Leave a comment
USCIS has promised to publish “Frequently Asked Questions” for EB-5, but I haven’t seen this yet. However the documents released in conjunction with the EB-5 stakeholder meetings include many valuable questions and answers. I consult them often — sometimes paging through all those presentations one by one trying to remember which meeting included the answer I’m looking for. Now I have compiled all the Q&A in table form and added a page to this blog (EB-5 Q&A) to share the result. This list doesn’t include the unpublished Q&A, but does include material from the published executive summaries. I’ve sorted the questions according to topic as follows:
