As a US licensed lawyer and US immigrant, he understood the importance of obtaining credible assistance and advice when embarking on the immigration journey for foreign nationals. Over the many years of leading in the US immigration through investment market, he has filed more applications for foreign investors looking to immigrate to the US than any other firm in the market.[3] He has spoken at over 50 speaking engagements in the GCC, including IREX International Expo, and is an avid commentator on the EB-5 industry. He has been published in many newspapers, including Khaleej Times.[4]
