1/11 UPDATE: The USCIS Office of Public Engagement has emailed a revised draft of the EB-5 policy memorandum and a red line version of the memo for our review in advance of the 1/12 call with Director Mayorkas.

The USCIS Office of Public Engagement has just emailed another invitation:

Dear Stakeholder-

USCIS is pleased to invite you to the second in a series of Conversations with the Director. During these small group sessions, members of the public will have the opportunity to meet with USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas and senior members of the USCIS leadership team to discuss discrete policy issues.

The engagement will be held on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 3:00 PM (EST). Director Mayorkas will provide updates on the USCIS EB-5 Immigrant Investor program, including the draft policy memorandum published on November 9, 2011.

This small group discussion will complement the existing quarterly EB-5 engagements, the next of which will take place on January 23, 2012, by allowing for a more in-depth dialogue on policy issues related to the EB-5 program.

You may attend this engagement either in person or by teleconference. However, those attending via phone will be in listen-only mode. If you wish to attend in person, attendance is limited to the first 25 people who register. The session will be intentionally limited to 25 people in order to allow for a robust, in-depth discussion.
