The September 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline is rapidly approaching. Join us for a practical discussion of the hottest EB-5 issues facing attorneys, including:

• Filing strategies before the deadline
• Source of funds challenges and RFEs
• Concurrent filing considerations
• Project and I-956F timing issues
• Reserved visa availability and visa bulletin developments
• What happens if a filing cannot be completed before September 30
• Current USCIS trends and unresolved legal questions

This will be a candid, attorney-focused discussion with ample time for questions and strategy. If you represent EB-5 investors or regional centers, this is one conversation you won't want to miss before the grandfathering window closes.

This roundtable is presented by AILA's EB-5 Investor Committee.
