Governance & Oversight

Advisory Board

The Open EB5 Advisory Board brings together independent experts across U.S. immigration law, project finance, real estate, engineering, and strategic markets, providing oversight, regulatory awareness, and domain expertise across every project we make available to EB-5 applicants.

Purpose

Why we have an Advisory Board

EB-5 is a regulated federal immigration program with overlapping SEC, USCIS, and real-estate compliance requirements. An independent Advisory Board ensures Open EB5's decisions, project selection, documentation, applicant case management, are reviewed by domain experts outside the day-to-day operational team.
