In the third installment of IIUSA’s 2014 (monthly) Webinar Series, we will take a practical approach to Due Diligence in the EB-5 Context. Our panelists will examine proper immigration/security compliance and how to conduct thorough background checks in the name of  EB-5 Due Diligence. A unique aspect of this webinar is that our panelists will review a series of hypothetical projects with varying characteristics and due diligence challenges.  These project mock ups will cover rural/urban, big/small, industry, TEA viability, models, exit strategies, job creation, etc.registertoday1
