JOBS Act Implications & Other Articles
April 19, 2012 1 Comment
First, a reminder to RSVP to participate in the 5/1 USCIS EB-5 Stakeholder’s Meeting, either by teleconference or in person at the California Service Center in Laguna Niguel. Also consider attending the IIUSA EB-5 International Investment & Economic Development Forum held concurrently. Everyone who is anyone will be there. I’m teleconferencing the USCIS meeting because it’s going to be piping hot and I’m squeamish about war zones, but I will be at the IIUSA event, giving away my deepest business plan secrets. I’m looking forward to the comprehensive lineup of speakers arranged by IIUSA, and especially to the session “FOIA Report: 2008-2009 I-829 RFE/Denials & 2010 USCIS EB-5 Training Materials” with Robert Divine and Stephen Yale-Loehr speaking.
And a few articles on recent topics of interest.

I like this article too: DRAFTING PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDA: WHAT THE TREATISES DON’T TELL YOU by Steven Anapoell at:
http://eb5info.com/articles/488-drafting-private-placement-memoranda-what-the-t
Memorandum is singular; the correct plural is Memoranda, not Memorandums! It is things like that that set it apart from the rest from the very start and make me want to read further.
