Carolyn Lee was quoted this week on EB5Investors.com, “What can EB-5 investors do if their I-829 petitions get denied?”. Click here to read the full article.

“When we’re asked to advise on a denied I-829, we review the case and the basis for the denial.

The motion to reopen must be filed within 30-33 days of the decision, so it’s an intensive effort.”
