This year, for the first time, each EB-5 Regional Center must complete and submit Form I-924A to USCIS by December 29. As an annual exercise going forward, USCIS will be better able to monitor Regional Center activities and report Program statistics to the public.
IIUSA is pleased to host a webinar on the new Form featuring IIUSA EB-5 experts telling you what you need to know about this new reporting requirement. There will also be ample time for Q & A.
Moderator:
Panelists:
- Jeffrey B. Carr, President, Economic & Policy Resources, Inc.
- Angelique Brunner, President, EB5 Capital (DC Regional Center; EB-5 Sugarbush)
