Top EB-5 Experts to present exclusive investment opportunities at IREX 2025 in DubaiLeading EB-5 regional centers and immigration law firms to showcase high-potential EB-5 projects on February 7-8 at Hotel Taj, Business Bay

Dubai, UAE, 5th February 2025: The 20th edition of IREX will take place on 7th and 8th February 2025 at Hotel Taj, Business Bay, Dubai. The event provides a unique platform showcasing diverse opportunities for international real estate investment, residency, and citizenship programs across the globe. The conclave will bring together international real estate companies, residency and citizenship consultants, legal experts, government bodies, property developers, and other stakeholders under one roof. Many exhibitors will feature the U.S. EB-5 visa program, which offers a fast-track pathway to obtaining a U.S. Green Card.

The EB-5 Visa Program is an investment-based visa initiative by the U.S. government that enables foreign investors to obtain U.S. permanent residency by investing in projects that create at least 10 full-time jobs. Launched in 1990, this program requires a minimum investment of USD 800,000 in an EB-5-approved real estate project, fund, or business.

UAE investors and affluent expatriates are increasingly exploring secondary residency and citizenship-by-investment options worldwide, driven by the region’s economic expansion and growing wealth. The recent influx of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) from Ukraine, Russia, and neighbouring countries has further spiked demand for investor visas and second passports. Notably, EB-5 companies report a 40% increase in U.S. EB-5 applications from UAE-based investors over the past two to three years.

 “The EB-5 Program is the fastest, easiest, and most secure path to a U.S. Green Card—and citizenship if desired. EB5 United has helped over 1,500 investors and their dependents obtain more than 2,000 U.S. Green Cards. We’ve facilitated over $1 billion in EB-5 funding by selecting projects with safe investment structures backed by well-capitalized developers. At IREX, we will showcase our USCIS-approved projects, such as Montana-based Yellowstone Club (YC) Phase II and Florida-based Lakefront Estates & Villas, highlighting the benefits of projects with priority processing,” said Brennan Sim, Global Sales, EB5 United.

With Dubai emerging as a key market for investor visa options, leading U.S. regional centers are prioritizing the Middle East and Asian markets, offering high-potential EB-5 investment opportunities.

Nicholas Mastroianni III, President of U.S. Immigration Fund, stated: “USIF is proud to bring our expertise and innovative solutions to IREX Dubai, addressing challenges investors face in today’s U.S. immigration landscape. Amid uncertainties like H-1B visa limitations and potential EB-5 retrogression, timely investment is critical. At IREX, we’ll share exclusive insights into USCIS-approved projects, policy updates, market trends, and strategies for navigating the EB-5 process with clarity and confidence. Our goal is to help investors achieve their U.S. residency goals seamlessly and securely.”

Key participants in the show include EB-5 regional centers such as CMB Regional Centers, EB5 United, EB5 Capital, Pine State Regional Center, U.S. Immigration Fund, and Manhattan Regional Center. Leading EB-5 law firms, including Donoso & Partners LLC, will also be present to address legal inquiries from investors. An EB-5 Experts Panel discussion, sponsored by EB-5 Capital and Pine State Regional Center, will take place on the first day of the conference to educate prospective investors about the program.

“EB5 Capital has over 15 years of experience in the EB-5 industry, serving 2,100+ investors from 75+ countries. At IREX, we’ll showcase our rural EB-5 project, JF44 Vail Valley Project, a 242-unit multifamily development located near the renowned Vail Ski Resort.
