“Since 2008, the EB-5 Investor Visa Program has led to over $22.5 billion in foreign direct investments into projects throughout the United States of all types, from infrastructure, hotels, commercials and residential developments, to the IT, manufacturing, and the professional services industries,” states Lahoud.  “As a result, thousands of jobs have been created, investments have continued, and the impact of the EB-5 investor visa program on states like New Jersey has been positive, significant, and long-term.  I am honored to be asked to speak at this year’s EB-5 Investor Magazine Annual Convention, given the importance of the investor visa program, in a time when there are many immigration uncertainties.”

Lahoud’s EB-5 experience spans every aspect of the program including formations and management of regional centers and representation of investors from across the world. His experience of direct and regional center investments includes travel to several Middle Eastern, European, and Asian countries to present educational sessions for possible investors. Lahoud offers leadership and counsel with economic development organizations, municipalities, developers, quasi-government entities and planning commissions to implement and market the EB-5 program as an alternative funding source for public and private projects.
