Robert Gaffney Speaks At Investor Immigration Law Events

On behalf of Law Offices of Robert P. Gaffney posted in investor immigration on Wednesday, April 24, 2019.

Attorney Robert P. Gaffney recently participated in two "EB-5 To H-1B" Expos in Phoenix and San Jose, California. The first expo took place March 27 at the Sheraton Grand Phoenix and the San Jose expo occurred at Wyndham Garden San Jose Airport on March 29.

The EB-5 visa allows wealthy individuals to immigrate to the U.S. in exchange for investing at least $500,000 in a new commercial enterprise in this country.
