Earlier this month, Attorney , Partner at David Hirson & Partners, LLP (“DHP”) spoke at Invest in the USA’s (“IIUSA”) conference in Washington, DC (May 5-7, 2019). He spoke on the panel titled: How to Market to and Find Investors Already in the U.S.: E-2 and EB-5 and Other Visa Backlog Solutions. Alongside his other panel members, spoke about the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa and other U.S. immigration pathways for those seeking alternatives to the EB-5 visa. and the team of attorneys at DHP are experts with helping clients find the best immigration pathways for themselves and their family members.
One of the keynote speakers at the IIUSA conference this year was General David Petraeus, who called on all those in attendance to help ensure that everyone who served in the U.S. military are ensured employment opportunities when they leave the service. DHP is proud of and supports our military and veterans.
Of particular interest to DHP’s EB-5 clients, are the updated final action date estimates provided by Mr. Charlie Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Visa Control & Reporting Division, U.S. Department of State. EB-5 petitioners from Mainland China and Vietnam continue to face a long wait time. EB-5 applicants from India do not face a final action date yet but will most likely have a final action date starting in July 2019. Mr. Oppenheim also provided his “best case” and “worst case” predictions for EB-5 final action dates for October 2019:
IIUSA’s full report on Mr. Oppenheim’s remarks regarding EB-5 final action dates is available here. If you are an EB-5 investor seeking to understand more about final action dates and what this means for you and your family, we encourage you to contact DHP or your licensed immigration attorney for more information and guidance.
Lastly, DHP is proud of all of the hard work and perseverance put forth by the 2019 winners of the IIUSA Awards for Economic Achievement and those elected to serve in various IIUSA positions. Congratulations to all!
