IIUSA’s third annual webinar on Form I-924A Filing is in the books and we’d like to thank all who attended including our panelists. The first part of the webinar was a discussion of how I-924A filings translate into tangible economic impacts of the EB-5 program and how they are reported. Moderator Peter D. Joseph, IIUSA Executive Director, also gave webinar attendees a ‘sneak peak’ of FY2012 EB-5 economic impacts, which will be detailed in the soon-to-be-completed IIUSA-commissioned Economic Impact study for 2011-2012. To purchase the 2010-2011 study, please purchase from the IIUSA Marketplace.
