Uninformed Migration Agents Selling Multiple CBI Passport Programs are discouraging Vietnamese investors from committing.

With USCIS tightened adjudications policy on Vietnam EB-5 cases, AVS continues to see a 100% approval record for Vietnam investors both with and without RFEs.

I know it is Monday, I know I have already written a bunch of updates, and I know you are probably already tired of hearing me babble on and on…but I have one last thing I want to tell our Vietnam friends today: the “alternate” E-2 route.

While Vietnam migration agents have never been known for their ethical behavior, the bar continues to be lowered.

Congress is currently acting on a two week government funding extension which will likely see the EB-5 Regional Center program, currently set to expire this Friday, extended without changes.

When a prospective investor approaches a migration agent about a specific program, the agent will often steer the client to the most profitable one on their shelf…even if it isn’t the best solution and it can lead to US visa denial in the future.

The L-1A visa used to be the best option for foreign investors going to the U.S. Here’s why we think the E-2 beats it hands down.
