Recognized as one of the nation’s most influential immigration attorneys, Ron Klasko has focused his practice on
immigration law for over 30 years. Ron was recognized by the
International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers as being the most

Ron’s true passion is getting involved on the ground floor
of projects and making an impact, improving practices and
crafting the most creative and effective ways to interpret law.
He enjoys finding unique strategies of enacting law to yield the

You may already be familiar with Anthony Korda and his
personal EB-5 immigration journey from the first issue of our
magazine. After navigating the EB-5 process himself, he now
helps others do the same. Anthony first became involved with
the EB-5 program in 2006 when he and his family emigrated
from the United Kingdom after investing in Jay Peak Ski
Resort, a project for The Vermont Regional Center. He chose
the EB-5 program not only because it allowed his family to
realize their dream of living in the United States, but also
because he believes in the program’s ability to bring funding,
entrepreneurs and great business opportunities to the American
economy that would not have otherwise been possible.
His one-of-a-kind insider perspective on the EB-5 program
is what makes Anthony such a valuable and coveted attorney.
With clients his main focus is on understanding the person
behind the application. This means that he focuses on helping
find the right project, and managing their expectations. He
spent months and months waiting for his status to change
on the USCIS website and he intimately understands the
frustrations that can come with the EB-5 program. Through
managing expectations, Anthony is able to present his clients
with an accurate picture of the EB-5 program and exactly
what is expected of them in order to be successful.
Anthony became a U.S. citizen this year and currently lives
in Florida, where he spends his time kite surfing and boating
the EB-5 industry for regional centers. With his dedication to
law making and the program, Ron has led, and will continue to
lead the EB-5 program to greatness.
