Paparelli en Copyright 2012 Sat, 12 May 2012 15:47:36 -0800 Sat, 12 May 2012 15:47:36 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Mr. Meyer is correct in that the applicants for so-called "pre-approval" of EB-5 investment projects are not getting what they are paying $6,230 for. The so-called "pre-approval" process -- which USCIS incorrectly treats as an "amendment" to the initial regional center approval letter -- is, in fact, a federal government swindle. And he is also correct in declaring that "re-adjudication" is back after a couple of years of hiatus. I wish there were a corporate memory at USCIS but, sadly, that is not the case.
It was September 10, and I was in the conference room when USCIS Director Mayorkas asked Barbara Velarde, in response to a question from me, if USCIS could produce a Form I-797 approval notice for applications asking for "pre-approval" of EB-5 investment projects. Ms. Velarde said she did not think the CLAIMS system (a computer program that generates such notices) could accomplish that simple act. That's pitiful.
