American Immigrant Investor Alliance – Episode 146
Immigrant investors are the backbone of the EB-5 community, and it is long overdue for them to have a seat at the table. In this episode, Mona and Rebecca speak to Ishaan Khanna and Rajvir Batra from the American Immigrant Investor Alliance (AIIA), the first by-investors-for-investors organization which seeks to bring a new voice to the discourse. Learn about how AIIA uses extensive outreach within the immigration and investment communities, government administrative agencies, Congressional leadership, and other stakeholders to push for policies that benefit investors. Ishaan and Rajvir also comment on the Alliance’s long-term goals, priorities, and ways to get involved.
