How to Litigate EB-5 Matters in Removal Proceedings

How to Litigate EB-5 Matters in Removal Proceedings

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.
