USAdvisors.org Visits EB-5 Practitioners Across the South and Midwest In late April, Michael Gibson and George Wozencraft of USAdvisors.org set out on an ambitious road trip, crisscrossing the U.S.A. for the purpose of meeting with EB-5 regional center operators and other EB-5 practitioners. Beginning in Naples, Florida at an EB-5 visa project being handled by America's Center for Foreign Investment and arriving in Houston, Texas during the last week in April, Michael and George also managed to meet with the City of Dallas Regional Center (Civitas Capital) before heading to Memphis, Tennessee. Along the way, they have accumulated film footage and conducted interviews with investment immigration specialists involved with the USCIS EB-5 visa program. Wrapping up their initial jaunt through the South by meeting with Memphis attorney Greg Siskand, the two arrived in the Midwest, where stops in Illinois and Wisconsin included CMB Export Regional Center in USAdvisors.org | May 2010!
