B5 Investors Magazine returned to Mumbai,
India, this spring for a successful conference
that assembled a who’s who crowd in one of
the world’s most in-demand investment immigration
markets.
Nea rly 400 at te nde es ca me to t he Ju ne 1 EB-5
Immigration Expo, staged at the prestigious St. Regis
Mumbai hotel, to hear presentations given professional
panelists, to learn about sponsors in the Exhibitor Hall
or to discover EB-5 investment projects in the U.S.
A mong t he attendees were m ig rat ion agencies,
immigration attor neys, EB-5 ser v ice prov iders,
regional centers and project developers from across
the world. Panel topics included the latest news on
EB-5 legislation and the marketplace, source of funds
documentation and due-diligence best practices. Other
panels focused on world investment immigration
programs as organized by EB5 Investors Magazine’s
sister publication, Uglobal Immigration Magazine.
The conference came as Indian interest in EB-5
v i s a s g ro w s w h i le ot he r opt ion s, p a r t ic u l a rly
the H-1B visa, dw indle for Indians. The number
of approved EB-5 visas for India-born nationals
has grown more than four-fold over the last four
years, according to U.S. Depar tment State data.
Simultaneously, the amount of India millionaires
is also growing and is expected to rise by 65% by
2020. This growth is fueling interest in investment
immigration.
EB5 Investors Magazine is returning to Mumbai for
a second time this year on Oct. 12. The magazine
will also be staging events in Los Angeles in July,
and in South Korea and Vietnam in September.
