Upcoming EB-5 Forum on November 10th to Address Popular Questions

On November 10^th, IIUSA will hold a virtual EB-5 forum where the Chief of the Immigrant Investor Program Office, Sarah Kendall, and other EB-5 leaders will answer questions.

A full list of EB-5 questions that will be asked can be seen here. 

Topics that IIUSA hopes Ms. Kendall and others will address include: “IPO staffing levels, RFE’s, new USCIS policy, TEA’s and more.”

A few of the EB-5 questions:

What actions are being taken to reduce processing times and eliminate backlogs when it comes I-526, I-829, and I-924 applications?

What’s the time frame and process for reviewing the comments that were submitted in August in regards to the recent policy guidance on redeployment of investor capital? Also, what will happen to investors who followed previous redeployment guidance if the policy retroactively requires investors to follow new guidance?

Why do projects have to submit project information for each investor if the project was approved and no information changed?

Why is the I-526 Historical National Average Processing Time for FY20 so vastly different than the estimated time range for processing I-526’s?

How many staff members at IPO are currently working on adjudications and what’s the likelihood of furloughs? What steps are being taken to increase productivity at IPO?

Other topics that may be addressed include post-election outlooks, EB-5 and opportunity zones, EB-5 through legal lenses, and investor market trends.
