Our Mission

Our Mission

The American Immigrant Investor Alliance (AIIA) is a registered 501 (c) (4) organization dedicated to informing, educating, and advocating on behalf of all EB-5 investors from across the globe.  Immigration by Investment matters in the US have numerous stakeholders each focused on their own agendas. Until AIIA's formation, there was no single organization effectively advocating on behalf of EB-5 investors.​


AIIA was founded in 2021 by four immigrant-investors to provide a voice and representation on behalf of investors. Through active and extensive outreach within the immigration and investment communities, government administrative agencies, Congressional leadership and other stakeholders, AIIA provides investors a seat at the table with respect to decisions and actions that affect them.


As an organization whose sole focus is on EB-5 investors, both that are resident in the US and those awaiting their petitions to be adjudicated outside the US, AIIA strives to be the single authoritative investor-focused advocacy organization representing interests of all EB-5 investors.

Our Investment Priorities

EB5 investors invest a significant amount of capital in the US economy. Our financial advocacy will help ensure that investors are aware of their financial rights and obligations and are able to make informed decisions. We advocate for investors at all stages of the EB-5 journey: the at-risk job creation period, capital redeployment, and capital repayment. Our work will ensure that every investor has full confidence in the state of their capital investment.
