NPR Story about the EB-5 Program

The NPR ran a story yesterday, March 5th, on the EB-5 investor visa program.  While the story is intended for a general audience and is fairly general in nature, it is interesting to read (or listen to the podcast) a mainstream media story about this growing in importance and profile program.

One of the points of the story is that the EB-5 program may be considered as a unfair “pay-to-play” program where foreign nationals “buy” their U.S. visa.  Of course, the story provides plenty of support for the EB-5 program which is considered by many to be a beneficial job-creating and foreign capital-attracting program in these difficult economic climate.
