The requirements for Projects and Regional Centers are highly specific and multi-layered. Mr. Lundy has the knowledge needed to assess business plans, economic reports, securities offerings, and corporate documents for EB-5 compliance.  His knowledge and experience extends to the similarly nuanced immigration components of the EB-5 program, and under his representation, hundreds of individuals seeking to obtain investment-based permanent resident status have filed successful EB-5 immigrant petitions and applications.

Facing a troubled project as an investor, developer, or regional center is a stressful scenario.
