Mr. Enterline, who co-chaired the conference, also spoke on two panels.

What is a Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record?

If you are applying for lawful permanent residency (“Green Card”) from within the United States, you have to submit Form I-693, which is a medical exam and vaccination record completed by a specific doctor. Submitting this form shows that you are eligible for a Green Card based on health reasons. Who Can Complete Form I-693? Only a doctor listed on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) website at www.uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon can perform the exam. How Much Does it Cost to Have the Form I-693 Completed? Rates vary by physician. We encourage you to do your research and compare charges for civil surgeons in your area. When scheduling the appointment, tell the office that it is for an immigration medical examination. What Should I Bring to My Medical Examination Appointment? What Happens at the Appointment?

These errors may cause inconsistencies between your passport, visa, and Green Card, which can lead to complications with government records, employment, or travel documents. What You Should Do After Receiving Your Visa or Green Card? If Your Green

What Is Capital In The RIA?

In the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”), the definition of “Capital” as an investment for EB-5 has been updated. Capital includes cash, as well as any real, personal, or mixed tangible assets that are owned and controlled by the investor and which are invested in, or contributed into, the business. Capital can also be assets held in trust for the investor, provided the investor has unrestricted access to them. This guarantees that the funds are accessible for investment purposes and job creation. Capital must be evaluated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or other SEC-adopted standard accounting procedures at the time of investment, at fair market value in U.S. dollars. This guarantees uniformity and openness in the investment’s appraisal. The definition of capital excludes several types of assets: However, Capital invested in a business with a buyback option may still qualify if the option can only be
