Information Seminar – What does the new EB-5 regulation mean and how will it affect me and my investors?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2019, 10:00 am – Enterline and Partners Consulting Office, 1A Cong Truong Me Linh, District 1, HCMC

As you know, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization regulation is scheduled to become effective on November 21, 2019. While some of the regulation is very clear, such as an increase to the minimum investment amount to US$900,000 Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”) and in a Non-TEA to $1.8 million, there are still many issues that are not so clear or obvious.

Join us for an informational seminar where we discuss such issues as:

  1. What happens to my Project after November 21st? Will it still qualify in a TEA? Can the project obtain funding and complete the project? What happens to existing investors if it fails to do so?
  2. What effect will this have on my existing investors who have already filed an I-526 Petition? What if my project changes its offering documents to allow for the increased investment amount?
  3. The rush to file petitions before November 21st – what are the risks? Recent USCIS policy in denying incomplete petitions.
  4. Will this regulation actually take effect in November? What might happen between now and then to stop or delay it?
  5. How to make sure your investor can qualify for the lower investment amount? What are the potential problems, e.g., timing of investment and using an escrow; is the project still in a TEA?
  6. How does the regulation relate to the September 30th sunset of the Immigrant Investor Program?
  7. What does it mean to “retain the Priority Date” of an earlier approved petition? Does my investor have to invest more money? At what amount?

Many of the answers to these questions are not so clear and there are many other questions which have not even been asked. Join us for a discussion of these questions and answers from our experienced EB-5 lawyer David Enterline.

Supreme Court Hands the Trump Administration a Partial Victory in Ongoing Birthright Citizenship Litigation

The United States Supreme Court has given President Donald Trump’s Executive Order (“EO”) curbing birthright citizenship a partial victory. The ruling does not impact “Birthright Citizenship” but rather restricts district court judges from issuing nation-wide (or “universal”) injunctions against Executive Orders.  In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that lower federal court judges who issued nationwide injunctions against the EO went too far and granted the Trump Administration’s request to narrow the injunctions issued in Maryland, Washington and Massachusetts. While the Supreme Court’s ruling was a dramatic shift in how lower federal court judges have operated for years, the decision left enough room for challengers to the EO to prevent it from taking effect while litigation works its way through the federal court system. Specifically, the EO, which also suffered a setback by the Federal Court of Appeals will remain blocked for an additional thirty (30) days) allowing the

When Do Sponsor Obligations End Under Form I-864?

For immigrants to the United States, the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”), is a critical part of the family-based immigration process. It is a legally enforceable contract in which a sponsor agrees to financially support the intended immigrant, helping ensure that the immigrant does not rely on certain U.S. government benefits after becoming a permanent resident. By signing Form I-864, the sponsor takes on long-term financial responsibility, but this obligation is not indefinite. The U.S. government outlines specific situations under which the sponsor’s duties come to an end. When Will These Obligations End?  A sponsors obligations under a Form I-864 end when the sponsored immigrant: A sponsor’s obligations under a Form I-864 also end if the sponsor dies. As such, the sponsor’s estate is not required to take responsibility for the sponsored immigrant following the sponsor’s death. Divorce does not terminate the responsibility, and if the sponsor dies,

F, M and J Student Visa Interviews to Resume with Enhanced Social Media Vetting

The United States Department of State (“DOS”) has instructed Embassies and Consulates to begin accepting new F, M, and J student visa application appointments following a temporary suspension. The pause was initiated to allow DOS to implement policy changes regarding social media vetting. After the suspension, e F, M, and J student visa applicants are required to make their social media accounts public for vetting purposes. In a DOS announcement, DOS will use all information available for “visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to U.S. national security. Under this new guidance, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications.” The new policy, following the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to begin screening anti-Semitic online activity posted by
