 At a recent Senate Judiciary Committee Senators from both Democrat and Republican sides of the House got together to discuss Bill S-642, a proposal to make the EB-5 Regional Center program permanent. During the one-hour plus discussions (see video of the proceedings here) testimony was heard from, among others, the most ardent supporter of the EB-5 program, Senator Patrick Leahy. Regular readers of this blog will recall that I had the pleasure of meeting with Senator Leahy at a breakfast in Washington in 2009. Senator Leahy presented the most compelling reasons as to why this program should be made permanent.
The overall tone of the hearing, in my opinion, was positive. In general, any less-than-positive remarks were confined to tightening-up the rules of the program to make sure, among other things, that the jobs created by the program are going to American Citizens and permanent residents as opposed to those that might not have work authorization in the USA.
Among other supporters of S-642 is Senator Chuck Schumer who, despite not attending the hearing, did issue a statement containing the following quote:
….That’s why I am proud to be sponsoring S-642 with Senator Leahy to permanently authorize the EB-5 program. We need to permanently authorize the EB-5 program as soon as possible, and we should not tie the reauthorization of the EB-5 program to any other program. If all of us agree that this is a good program, let’s all cosponsor and pass S-642.
We, at Which EB5, applaud the message that the Senators are sending.
My opinion from watching the proceedings is that we will secure a permanent reauthorization of the EB-5 Regional Center program. However, if I were to take a view that some changes might be made to the program I would have to say that it might, just might, be that the amount required to participate may increase above the current $500,000 level. Just my humble opinion.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the EB-5 Visa Program please contact Which EB5 via email or telephone +1-561-771-1330

With 132 regional centers approved by USCIS to take your $500,000 in exchange for a Green Card many of our clients have told us they are searching for a directory of EB5 regional centers.
The problem is a directory is just that, a directory, and it can be dangerous if you do not have ALL the available information. The information contained may provide the basics but it is what it does not contain that can be potentially serious.
• An EB-5 directory does not tell you which of these centers have returned all the original $500,000 of investors’ funds and which have not.
• A list of EB 5 Regional Centers does not give you an independent analysis of the positives and negatives found when an impartial expert visits the center.
• An EB5 directory does not tell you which of these centers have been subject to negative comments in trade and local newspapers.
• A list of EB5 Regional Centers does not tell you which centers have specific economic models which many immigrants prefer in the current economic climate.
These are just a few examples of why a directory of EB-5 programs alone is potentially dangerous and why you need to know the positives and negatives of the regional centers you may be looking at – for more information contact us at: info@WhichEB5.com

July 20th, 2010 |
I don’t usually write about personal experiences in this blog but I must make an exception and tell you about my weekend trip to Martha’s Vineyard to lunch with members of the U.S. Senate.
This weekend I had the pleasure of being invited to have lunch in Martha’s Vineyard with a group of very influential people. Among the group that numbered about forty were Senator Chuck Schumer D-NY, Senator Jack Reed D- RI and Senator Robert Menendez D-NJ (Senator Menendez went on to appear on NBC’s Meet The Press the next day).
Apart from the chance to visit such a beautiful, very hot, destination, a destination that has been frequented by political figures for many years, I was looking forward to having the opportunity to speak with the Senators in a more intimate atmosphere than the usual meetings I have attended from time to time in Washington and to presenting some ideas for improving the effectiveness of the EB-5 program.
The weekend started with a flight from Florida to Boston, a city I have not visited for any length of time before. Arriving a day before the meeting with the Senators I was able to see some of the historic sites of Boston. I particularly enjoyed the State House as it was from here that the British ran the colony well before a famous Tea Party (For those of our readers who are new to American History, this Tea Party has absolutely nothing to do with a current movement you may hear about on the news) signaled the beginning of the end of British rule here in the USA. Being born in the U.K. and later becoming a naturalized American, this was of great interest to me.
 Air Conditioning on a Cesna As the lunch meeting in Martha’s Vineyard was set for 12.00 mid-day on Saturday I had arranged to fly from Boston to MV on Cape Air. The experience flying on an 8-seater, 30 year old Cessna is something quite unique. Just how unique? I have inserted a photo showing the air-conditioning on this flight!
In case it is hard to see I should just explain that the pilot is holding open the window while we are making our way to the take-off point; this allows the passengers to breath! To be fair, the temperature outside was approaching 40 degrees Celsius (100 F). I must also point out that not only were the flights on Cape Air smooth and professional in every way, they were quite enjoyable once one has overcome the typical thoughts associated with self preservation.
Arriving early in MV I had an opportunity to explore a little. I was taken aback by the beauty of the place and can understand why it is the chosen summer destination for so many.
As the lunch party started to arrive I was led to my seat on a table just to the right of Sen. Chuck Schumer D-NY. Leading the speeches was Senator Robert Menendez D-NJ who presented a well balanced delivery covering many topics of importance. Sen. Schumer also spoke eloquently on multiple subjects. Interjections by other guests followed and questions from some of the attendees were also voiced.
I took the opportunity to speak with Sen. Menendez regarding my involvement in, and passion for, the success of the EB-5 program.
My main focus was on the desire for premium processing for the I-526 immigrant investor petition. With premium processing available for many other types of petitions it does not make any sense to me that we make perhaps our most desired class of immigrant, those investing $500,000 to $1,000,000 into the U.S. economy, wait up to four months to know if their petition has been successful. I did emphasize that the staff of the USCIS EB-5 unit have done an outstanding job for us, the EB-5 stakeholders, and we would like to implement an improvement to the program that would also benefit that department. This move alone would, in my opinion, lead to increased use of the visa, more certainty for the applicant, an increase in international investment in the U.S. economy and of course greater job creation. Sen. Menendez was sympathetic to my point and suggested I follow-up with his Chief of Staff (Danny O’Brien) with further details and proposals.
I then had an opportunity to speak with Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island. Once again I voiced my enthusiasm and desire to keep the EB-5 program heading in the right direction. Along with the need to implement premium processing we talked about the potential benefits to the State of Rhode Island of establishing a Regional Center there. The Senator appeared interested in exploring this further and suggested we bring the point to his attention once the Governor’s race in RI has been settled.
I must say that I felt it very beneficial to have an opportunity to meet with and discuss these topics with such distinguished guests. If we, as advocates of the EB-5, can make representations to those with an opportunity to champion the concerns of EB-5 applicants in Washington I believe it is what we must do to preserve both the integrity of and future success of the EB-5 program.
I concluded my trip to New England with a visit to Harvard on Sunday morning. At least now I can say “I went to Harvard” even if it was only for a day!

News from Washington on the progress of the EB-5 extension:
The Senate is scheduled to vote at approximately 4:00 pm EDT on the final version of the Fiscal Year 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which contains numerous immigration provisions including the extension of the EB-5 Visa Program through October 1, 2012.
If this vote actually takes place and is successful for us it means the bill will make its way to President Obama to be signed into law.

It is anticipated that the Senate will take up the Homeland Security conference agreement this week (as early as Tuesday). This should clear the path for the Bill to be sent to the President for signing into law the 3-year extension of the EB-5 visa program among other measures. We will keep you up to date with the news from Washington.
We are at the AILA EB-5 conference in San Francisco this week to meet with Regional Center owners and specialist EB-5 immigration attorneys and will advise you of all important developments live from this venue.

According to our sources in Washington we are on our way to the anticipated 3-year extension to the EB-5 pilot program. Here is what we know right now:
House and Senate conferees today reached agreement on how to resolve the differing provisions in the House-passed and Senate-passed versions of the fiscal year 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. Conferees included a three year-long extension of the E-Verify Program in the measure, and they included three year extensions of three expiring immigration visa programs (including EB-5). Today’s conference committee action readies the measure for consideration by the full House and full Senate. The text of the conference agreement was not available at the time of this writing.
Here is an extract from FY2010 CONFERENCE SUMMARY: HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS.
“Visa Extensions: Provides three year authorization extensions for the religious worker (R visa), rural-serving doctors (Conrad 30-J visa), and investor (EB-5 visa) programs”.
The final three-year compromise emerged after a very contentions internal debate and a nearly successful effort by some members of Congress to eliminate all immigration extenders from the bill. Communications from the EB-5 regional centers to their individual members of Congress and from the entire EB-5 stakeholder community to congressional leadership were an extremely important factor in the decision to include the extensions.
The conference version of the bill will now go to the House and Senate for final votes in the next few days and then to President Obama for signature. The final votes are expected to be a formality.
We will keep you informed of all developments of the EB-5 pilot program here at the Which EB5 Blog.

Sources in Washington tell Which EB-5 that three immigration issues (including the EB-5 visa) will get a 3-year extension. This has NOT been confirmed as yet.
Here is the actual information we have at this time:
“House and Senate negotiators last night reached agreement on the differing provisions in the House-passed and Senate-passed versions of the fiscal year 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. The House and Senate conferees on the measure have set a meeting for 1:00 pm today to formalize the agreement”.
