Are Statements Made at Stakeholder Meetings Officially Binding?
The office of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services provides opportunities for EB-5 stakeholders to better understand the policies of the program. However, these stakeholder meetings can often end in confusion, as some agents of the USCIS may provide answers to questions or advice that does not actually coincide with USCIS regulations. In these situations, a stakeholder may not be sure what the actual USCIS policy is regarding their EB-5 questions.
If you have questions about the EB-5 visa program and want help understanding official policy or practices, an experienced attorney may be of assistance. To learn more, contact the EB-5 visa lawyers of White & Associates at 818-730-3540 today.
Who Can Help?
Stakeholder meetings are meant to clarify the EB-5 program to stakeholders. However, more often than not, a simple mistake by a USCIS agent can lead to a serious misunderstanding for a stakeholder. As the EB-5 program is far from straightforward, these misunderstandings can potentially derail the entire visa process.
For more qualified information, a person should consider the following sources:
- Posted EB-5 statutes from government websites
- Literature officially provided by the U.S. government
- Research and information provided by an attorney who is familiar with the program
Stakeholder meetings can help answer some questions, but a person may want to verify information that they’re told about the EB-5 process with a legal advisor as verbal statements are not legally binding in this context.
