Panelists will discuss emerging trends, strategies for addressing recurring issues in Requests for Evidence and Notices of Intent to Deny, regional center compliance, regulatory implementation of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act, and the issues practitioners should be watching as we move into 2027. Designed as a highly practical and interactive session, the roundtable will incorporate case hypotheticals, practitioner experiences, and audience questions.

Presented by AILA's EB-5 Investor Committee

This roundtable is presented by AILA's EB-5 Investor Committee. The AILA EB-5 Investor Committee monitors regulatory, legislative, policy and adjudication trends related to the EB-5 immigrant investor program and drafts comments on behalf of AILA relating to the EB-5 program. Where patterns of problematic adjudications arise, the committee raises them to USCIS or the CIS Ombudsman. The committee also monitors and advocates for much needed reforms to the EB-5 program.
