AILA EB-5 Investors Summit 2017 | American Immigration Lawyers Association | 8 December 2017 | Aria Resort and Casino, 3730 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158, US

The 2017 AILA EB-5 Investors Summit is designed for both entry-level and seasoned EB-5 practitioners and professionals. The faculty will address cutting-edge issues through in-depth panel discussions featuring experts in immigration, securities, and business law, highly respected economists, and other well-regarded professionals in the industry.

The conference program emphasizes legal and policy analysis, compliance, due diligence, enforcement, and ethical considerations, so that attorneys will be able to identify and provide counsel on EB-5 ineligibility matters, devise strategies to help their regional center or investor clients navigate complex legal and business issues, and respond effectively to USCIS or other government.

• Tackle Evolving RFE Issues Involving Source of Funds, Minor Investor Eligibility, and EB-5 Projects
• Get the Latest Updates on Legislative Changes and Visa Retrogression
