The complimentary webinar will bring together experts from all corners of the industry to break down the current state of EB-5 and the Regional Center Program.
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JTC has announced an in-depth virtual forum featuring discussions on the present and future of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The event is scheduled for April 17th and will be presented virtually so attendees can join from around the globe. Titled, "The New Era of EB-5: New Frontiers for Regional Centers," the webinar will focus on recent changes to EB-5 and evolving strategies for both issuers and investors.
Since the renewal of the Regional Center Program in 2022, the EB-5 industry has seen a resurgence, with hundreds of Regional Centers and projects applying for designation. Provisions from the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, such as reserved visa categories and priority processing for rural projects, are allowing for faster adjudication and giving investors from retrogressed countries the opportunity to avoid long wait times. With larger than usual numbers of visas available, investors are looking to strike while the iron is hot. To understand where the market is headed, the webinar panel will look at trends in investor behavior and discuss where opportunities may lie.

With a team of more than 1,700 across 32 offices worldwide, JTC has continued to build on its 36-year history, which includes providing services to 8 of the 10 largest global investment banks and 20% of FTSE 100 companies. In North America, JTC provides purpose-built solutions to institutional and private clients, allowing US-based clients to expand overseas and international clients to enter US markets.

Offering a range of services including escrow, fund administration, cosignatory, immigration workflow, and more, JTC provides RIA-compliant solutions for Regional Centers that can simplify processes and increase efficiency while helping build investor confidence through increased security and transparency.
The goal of the online seminar is for attendees to walk away with an understanding of what investors are looking for in an EB-5 project in 2024, and how Regional Centers and developers can differentiate their offerings in a competitive market. They'll also take questions from attendees and address the overall health of the program, including the need for legislation that can help EB-5 and the Regional Center Program achieve permanent authorization.
Discussion topics may include:
How increased filing fees will affect the priorities of both investors and issuers
Prospects for infrastructure and high-unemployment reserved visa categories
How to take advantage of the benefits that concurrent filing of Adjustment of Status can offer to H-1B and F-1 visa holders
What industry leaders are doing to ensure future reauthorization of the Regional Center program
