EB5 Office Procedures A – Z
EB-5 Quick Step Summary
A Message from Irina A. Rostova
I practiced immigration law for ten years with a focus on EB-5 investor visas.
I assisted approximately 700 investors and received numerous industry awards.
In 2020 I became a FINRA licensed broker in order to assist EB-5 investors with the process of project selection.
I retired from the practice of law and created a library of EB-5 practice tools for immigration attorneys, based on my 10-year legal experience.
Attorneys can use these tools to improve their knowledge in preparation of EB-5 petitions as well as benefit from the time-saving techniques and quality control procedures.
The information is available through an attorney portal and is fee to its users.
I also provide additional informational support to attorneys whose clients are utilizing my brokerage services.
I hope you benefit from these tools and are able to serve your EB-5 clients better!
