I have been licensed for over 24 years, have experience in all types of cases and have a Master”s in Business Administration. I have many clients from Mexico and think I could generate good client referrals. How do I start working on EB-5 cases?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryFirst off, if you are not an AILA member, that would be a very good start. But while you are educating yourself, be sure to co-counsel with an experienced EB-5 attorney; this is a very complex area of law. Furthermore, there are country specific issues which need consideration.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryI suggest you pair with an EB-5 attorney to do one case together, and then you will be able to gain a lot of experience and hopefully you will be able to do the second or the third one all on your own.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryYour question is a little broad. If you qualify as an attorney, you may be able to provide legal services. However, if you wish to be compensated for introducing investors to projects, then you should consider taking one of a number of qualifications in order to comply with SEC and certain FINRA regulations.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryYou may want to start by lining up a good relationship with an immigration attorney to guide you through the process and explain the difference between direct EB-5 projects and regional center projects. If you are acting as an agent then you will need to comply with the agency laws for your state.
