SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) May 05, 2022 - Fund administration leader JTC Americas has announced a free webinar presented in conjunction with law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP to help EB-5 industry stakeholders understand the Regional Center programs new rules.

Titled The Right Time is Now: Succeeding with EB-5 in 2022, the webinar, which will be held May 11th, 2022, will feature a panel of industry experts discussing important EB-5 topics such as what Regional Centers need to do in order to be designated or redesignated under the new law and what must be done before Regional Centers investors can begin filing immigration petitions.

JTC Americas, the North American arm of JTC, is the only provider of purpose-built third-party fund administration for EB-5, offering solutions that can be configured to projects of all sizes, an award-winning online portal for 24/7 project visibility, and an experienced client services team.

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 reauthorized the Regional Center program for five years, through September 30th, 2027. Along with reauthorization, the bill introduced a long list of new integrity measures and rules, some of which are still being refined by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. While reauthorization was welcome news for the industry, Regional Centers are still grappling with what the new rules mean and how to remain compliant in this new era of EB-5.

At the webinar, experts from JTC and Greenberg Traurig will discuss topics including the situations in which a fund administrator is required under the new law and what that fund administrator needs to be able to accomplish for the project, as well as the proper timeline for adding new record-keeping and compliance procedures to ensure all documentation is in order. Theyll also walk-through specific scenarios to help issuers understand the nuances of the new rules.

As we continue to receive information on how this new version of the Regional Center program will operate, its becoming clear that one of the biggest challenges for Regional Centers will be understanding the new rules and getting off on the right foot, said Reid Thomas, chief revenue officer and managing director, JTC Americas. Were honored to be working with Greenberg Traurig to educate stakeholders on what they need to do right now to get certified and maintain compliance with the new rules.

Its a pleasure to be connecting with JTC Americas for this event, as they know more than anyone about the importance of proper fund administration, said Jennifer Hermansky, shareholder, Greenberg Traurig.
