On February 26, 2026, Civitas Capital Group proudly sponsored the AILA EB-5 Virtual Conference, hosted by the American Immigration Lawyers Association. The conference brought together leading immigration and EB-5 practitioners to discuss key developments in the EB-5 program, including source of funds strategies, regional center compliance, investor protections, and the evolving future of EB-5.
Jeff Kiser, Managing Director, Head of EB-5 Investor Relations at Civitas Capital Group, had the opportunity to present Civitas’ approach to supporting investors throughout their EB-5 journey. Jeff highlighted how Civitas helps investors navigate complex processes with confidence, while also driving meaningful outcomes for communities and local economies. His examples illustrated the tangible benefits of EB-5 projects – from revitalized urban developments to rural initiatives – showing how EB-5 investment can create jobs, strengthen local businesses, and generate long-term community impact.
The conference emphasized not just regulatory and technical considerations, but also the human element of EB-5. Jeff showcased how Civitas projects positively impact investors pursuing personal and financial goals, while also driving economic benefits for the communities they support.
Civitas values opportunities like the AILA conference to engage with industry leaders, share real-world insights, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue around EB-5 best practices. Events like these foster understanding, build trust, and help practitioners navigate program complexities, ensuring that the EB-5 program continues to deliver both investment and societal value.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers and participants for bringing the EB-5 community together and for facilitating such an important discussion.
