[Q] What is involved procedurally in an EB-5 case?
Whether you decide to pursue a direct EB-5 or a regional center EB-5 case, you should realize that there are several procedural components to your EB-5 case.
[Q] Do I have to use an immigration attorney to handle my EB-5 case?
As with any legal case, you can represent yourself, but that's same with all kinds of services, such as repairing car, computer, doing your tax returns, defending a lawsuit, etc. Having said this, EB-5 case is more difficult to prepare than I-130 family petition case, for sure. It isn't a rocket science . . . but sometimes it can feel like it.
[Q] Do I have to use the same attorney who filed I-526 petition for I-829 conditions removal petition?

[Q] We are considering EB-5 case. What are the associated fees for I-526 immigrant petition and IV processing?
You must realize that EB-5 case does not just involve or consist of I-526 and/or IV consular processing (assuming you and your family are going to do consular processing.

[Q] Will changing 12 existing part-time positions into 10+ full-time positions count as requisite job-creation?
[Q] If an alien investor makes requisite investment into a business and turns 12 part-time positions into 12 full-time positions, will this count as more than 10 full-time jobs?
Interesting question. We think (we are not sure as CSC has not answered this one) that CSC would say "no", because they apparently consider the jobs to be "new", and they would argue that these were existing part-time positions which got "upgraded" to full-time positions and therefore, they are not "new" jobs.
