• DENIED! EB-5, I-829 Battles in the Trump Era

  "Denied" Part 1:As the Trump Administration takes a firm hold of all immigration, this is a word that is becoming all too common. Sadly, it's becoming a more common story. A person applies for EB-5. They listen to their lawyer, they follow all the rules, and they patiently wait for their conditional green card. Then, years pass. They get a job, buy a home, and build a life. They pay their taxes and become part of their community. However, at the final stage of the process, despite doing everything right, they get a denial. Worse, they get a notice to appear before an immigration judge. Why? And what can they do? Unfortunately, more and more people are asking those questions. Why is USCIS issuing more Notices to Appear? How worried should people be? Has there been any success fighting these? Mona and Rebecca sit down with John Pratt to tackle the complicated thorny topic of denials in the final stretch of the EB-5 process.
