[HOT] Our EB-5 Immigration Services Offered & Rendered

* Our practice is limited to purely U.S. federal immigration law, and we handle only EB-5 cases. Note that Young Noh is NOT licensed in state of CA but is licensed in state of Hawaii

The IV Investment Visas Law Office, located in Irvine, CA (30 minutes drive awa from the California Service Center which adjudicates all EB-5 cases) and headed by Young Noh, an experienced EB-5 practitioner and a former and current AILA EB-5 Liaison Committee member during 2008 ~ 2009 and 2011 ~ 2012, respectively, is pleased to offer the following comprehensive and specific EB-5 immigration-related services to potential EB-5 investors and professionals around the world. Note that we are experienced in having rendered advisory/consultant services to fellow business and immigration attorneys who need a guiding hand from a more experienced immigration attorney well-versed in the EB-5 law which appears to be simple but contains many practical issues with no ready answers for various reasons.

We also realize that many foreign potential investors, especially Chinese, are contacting their business or personal contacts in the United States asking to work together and/or invest in their businesses for non-regional center EB-5 opportunities, and often, these U.S. businesses or their respective business/business attorneys are at a loss to how to proceed.

Having been fortunate (or unfortunate :)) enough to acquire both legal and practical knowledge concerning EB-5 area through extensive experience -- and also possessing business law experience from his days of having worked as a business attorney -- Young is uniquely qualified to render advisory/consulting services in the EB-5 area.

The advantages of retaining our law office

We have a track record of having helped investors achieve their two primary objectives, which are the return of their initial investments and acquiring permanent green cards through I-829 approvals (not just I-526 petition approvals). However, to achieve these objectives, there are many steps the EB-5 investors and family members have to go through, and we have the best guide -- actual experience -- of having helped EB-5 investors achieve these two goals. Also, we only take a limited number of cases, so we can direct our full focus, time and energy.

We are also very prompt in our responses to our clients' questions.

We know our EB-5 law and cases, and we work hard to keep up with the latest developments by attending regular EB-5 stakeholders meetings at the California Service Center which is located 25 minutes away from our office.

The advantages and disadvantages of two avenues

There are distinct advantages and disadvantages associated with regional center eb-5 project case and direct, individual EB-5 case, which must be properly understood before the investor makes commitments. Review http://eb-5center.com/node/125 for more details.

Services for Direct, Individual EB-5 Investor Case in California

For specific services tailored for direct, individual EB-5 cases, please review: www.eb-5center.com/direct_eb5_services Our law office can help you with any direct, individual EB-5 case located in the United States, but we specialize in direct, individual EB-5 cases in California because our law office is based in California. We are especially experienced in rendering EB-5 related advisory and consultant services to fellow attorneys and professionals who may not be as experienced in EB-5 cases -- in short, acting as a co-counsel to fellow attorneys/professionals in providing EB-5 services to their clients.

Working in advisory capacity with other practitioners who may be less experienced in EB-5 area

Note that we welcome working with other professionals in the capacity of an advisor, as long as our work philosophies are consistent and a clear and fair work-relationship can be agreed upon. Because an advance review, analysis and planning play a crucial role towards a successful EB-5 case, and the EB-5 law is in a constant flux, working with a more experienced EB-5 attorney may be a smart choice if you have not handled numerous EB-5 cases.

Note also that we are not an expert in tax, accounting, business law, etc. We believe we are just good at handling EB-5 cases, particularly Regional Center based EB-5 cases, in addition to being well-versed in the rights and obligations under the EB-5 law.

Acting as the U.S.-based mailing office to receive important notices from USCIS for EB-5 cases for immigration attorneys based outside the United States

Often, there will be problems with receiving receipt notices and RFEs sent by CSC at foreign address. Therefore, a U.S. based office is needed to act as a receiving and forwarding office.
