Is there an official list of EB-5 attorneys?

No. There is no official list of EB-5 attorneys issued by the U.S. government or any federal agency. No authority credentials or recommends specific professionals to handle this type of process.

That does not mean you are without guidance. There are reliable ways to find a qualified professional:

• The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), which brings together attorneys specializing in immigration.
• The State Bar Associations, which provide information on who is licensed and in good standing in each state.
• Client reviews and the firm’s reputation in the market.

Because EB-5 combines immigration and investment, look for someone with specific, proven experience in the program, not just immigration law in general. Verify credentials, confirm the license is in good standing, and be wary of miracle promises or unusually low initial fees, which can signal fraud.

A careful choice protects your investment and helps keep the entire process in compliance with U.S. rules.
