Has been involved with EB-5 cases since passage of the law in 1990. He was present in the Senate in Washington DC when the EB-5 bill was marked up and Senator Biden, now Vice President Biden was debating the proposed new law. In 1991, personally prepared and filed one of the very first EB-5 cases with the INS (now USCIS). The case was approved; the same case was the first case to be consular interviewed and approved at the AIT in Taiwan. He successfully filed and received approvals of many cases in the first 10 years of the program. Only about 300 cases were approved annually by the INS/USCIS in the early years of the program. After 2000, the program began to pickup and the approved EB-5 cases broke through the 1000 barrier. He personally argued appeals at the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) and had 4 cases approved after they were denied by the INS/USCIS and certified to the appeal unit. He has applied for several regional centers to be designated and approved by USCIS. The most recent of which was in 2009- the PUMA Regional Center in Riverside, CA; and a Regional Center covering the state of Utah. He is the partner leading the EB-5 team in the Irvine office, comprised of attorneys, supervising paralegals, paralegals, legal assistants and administrative staff and referred many of the EB-5 cases within the US Fragomen offices – San Diego, Los Angeles, Dallas, Boston, and Washington DC.
