February webinar attendees will learn the ins and outs of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, including how to market the program to foreign investors, attracting new jobs and investment to their communities.

To stimulate U.S. job growth, Congress created the EB-5 visa program. So far the program has attracted more than $1.5 billion in investments and created more than 31,000 US jobs. Also known as the Immigrant Investor Program, the EB-5 visa program provides green cards to qualified investors and their families if they establish a new commercial enterprise. In the process of establishing these businesses, the investors must create or maintain at least 10 full-time jobs in the U.S. EB-5 Regional Centers provide economic development organizations (EDOs) with the unique ability to recruit foreign investors and foreign direct investment, ultimately leading to the creation of new jobs and increased wealth generation on a local and regional level.

Webinar Attendees will:
• Gain an understanding of the EB-5 visa program and how it can be used to attract foreign investment and international talent to their communities
• Learn strategies to attract foreign investors to their communities
• Learn best practices of how EDOs are creating and taking advantage of the EB-5 program
