Mr. Berez, as SRC Board Director for EB-5, he provides SRC and its projects and investors with expert assistance and support to ensure full and complete EB-5 eligibility and compliance on all SRC activities, matters, and services related to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Prior to joining SRC, Mr. Berez has had a distinguished career and record of accomplishment in a U.S. Federal Government career spanning over 35 years at four major Federal agencies — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS); theU.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS); the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO); and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For almost ten-years prior to his retirement from USCIS, Mr. Berez was the USCIS Headquarters EB-5 Program Manager and Chief Adjudications Officer in charge of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Mr. Berez was instrumental in restoring and leading the EB-5 immigrant investor program from being a very small struggling program at the end of 2000 to establishing a process and foundation that has enabled it to flourish and grow to what it has become, enabling EB-5 Regional Centers and thousands of EB-5 investors to generate as much as a billion dollars per year of aggregate EB-5 immigrant investment capital into the U.S. economy creating thousands of jobs for American workers throughout the U.S. Mr. Berez, as an expert on EB-5 regional center and EB-5 investor eligibility matters, has provided expert EB-5 guidance services to immigration law firms and regional centers, and assisted and consulted on actions involving hundreds of EB-5 I-924, I- 526, and I-829 applications and petitions, RFEs, Intent to Deny (ITD), Denial actions, Motions to Reopen/Reconsider (MTRs) and successful cases of EB-5 Federal Court litigation in achieving favorable outcomes for attorneys, regional centers, and EB-5 immigrant investors.
