Mona Shah & Associates Global (MSA Global) is a firm specializing in business investment immigration (EB-5). We have a large and diverse client base representing individual, institutional, and corporate clients around the globe. We use our expertise in structuring, configuring and preparing EB-5 and other business immigration investment projects involving multi-million-dollar raises.
The work here at MSA Global is often challenging, high-quality, creative, and requires someone with business acumen that can quickly adapt to this complex, nuanced, and constantly changing area of law, combining practice in business immigration, securities and corporate law.
What is EB-5: The EB-5 Visa Program allows a person and his or her immediate family to obtain a Green Card (live permanently in the U.S.) by investing in an enterprise that creates jobs for qualifying U.S. workers.
Although EB-5 is an immigration program, it is a niche area as it encompasses a wide range of corporate, private equity, and securities law. Please visit our website for a complete breakdown of what we do: https://mshahlaw.com/
