This roundtable will examine the unique challenges of defending EB-5 investors facing removal proceedings. We’ll discuss strategies for contesting removability, seeking termination or reopening of removal, and advancing adjustment, waiver, or other forms of relief. Attendees will gain practical tools for developing the record, using expert testimony, and preserving issues for appeal. This roundtable is designed for immigration litigators and EB-5 practitioners looking to bridge the gap between complex EB-5 program requirements and removal defense.
Please join the EB-5 Investor Committee for the 2026 AILA EB-5 Virtual Conference on February 26, 2026. The conference will feature timely panels discussing the grandfathering requirements, cutting edge source of funds issues in both I-526E and I-829 case preparation, I-829 Petition issues and representing investors in proceedings, troubled project and RIA Section (M) protections, and the Gold Card.
