As Mr. Robert Hobbs, VP of R.H. Hobbs and Century American Regional Center (USCIS approval pending) put it "Brian, we had a great time at your event this past weekend. Your passion and commitment to the EB5 program is very impressive. Individuals that come in contact with you immediately levitate towards your enthusiasm and friendliness. Thank you very much for introducing us to Lu from Maslink and John from Henry Global. You can see that they are very successful and dedicated to what they do. It was nice to see how 2 competing Immigration Consultants interact with each other and the way they present their business practices..... 2 very different approaches. I can say that I come away with new knowledge and connections every time i attend one of your events. The EB5 program provides many loops and hurdles, and your events shed some light on how things are done the right way (legal). The more we meet with the real players, the more confident we feel in the success of our upcoming marketing efforts. Our regional center, with your help and insight, will be one of the premier Regional Centers for years to come."
