AIIA’s work in reforming EB-5 law and policy is focused on promoting equity and transparency between EB-5 investors, the EB-5 industry, and the U.S. Government. The bulk of our work is rooted in the nuanced landscape of the EB-5 program, including laws created by Congress and policy from government agencies like the USCIS, Department of State, and the Justice System. We seek to end injustices in the program- such as redeployment, slow processing, and arbitrary denials- and improve the program for the U.S. communities that need it most.

The need for clarity regarding most clauses of the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act is evident. We recognize the importance of precise guidelines to demystify the legislation, ensuring its effective implementation. Through strategic advocacy, we aim to bridge gaps, seeking clarifications on specific clauses that impact both investors and industry participants, fostering a more transparent and navigable EB-5 program. The American Immigrant Investor Alliance plays a pivotal role in this advocacy, championing the cause for transparency and equitable policies that benefit both investors and the EB-5 industry.

Equity between EB-5 investors and the industry is paramount for the sustained success and credibility of the program. Striking a balance that ensures the protection of investors’ interests while fostering an environment conducive to project development is a delicate yet essential task. The American Immigrant Investor Alliance plays a crucial role in advocating for fair and equitable policies that safeguard the rights of investors while promoting the growth and sustainability of the EB-5 industry by negotiating with influential industry members and government officials. This commitment to equity is pivotal in maintaining the integrity of the EB-5 program and also attracting new investors for the future of the program.

Transparency is a linchpin in the relationship between all EB-5 stakeholders and the U.S. government. Open communication and access to crucial information are imperative for informed decision-making and maintaining the trust of investors. AIIA’s advocacy extends to this critical aspect, emphasizing the need for transparency between stakeholders and the U.S. government. By filing Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain vital data from USCIS, AIIA ensures that stakeholders are well-informed and empowered to actively participate in shaping the trajectory of the EB-5 program. Additionally, the Alliance’s engagement in litigation serves as a formidable tool to secure legal victories, further reinforcing the principle of transparency and accountability within the EB-5 ecosystem. Through these multifaceted efforts, the Alliance stands as a staunch advocate for the rights and interests of EB-5 investors globally, striving to create a more equitable and transparent landscape within the program.
