Enterline and Partners attorneys David Enterline and Ryan Barshop recently spoke at the 2025 American Immigration Lawyers Association (“AILA”), Asia Pacific Chapter (“APAC”) Annual Conference in Seoul, South Korea.
David Enterline was the discussion leader of the EB-5 Panel titled “EB-5 State of Play Under the New Administration”. Along with important challenges like I-485 processing delays, USCIS receipt number issues, visa rollover concerns, and ongoing litigation—including IIUSA’s challenge to USCIS’s sustainment policy and the Battineni v. Mayorkas ruling regarding EB-5 fund sourcing requirements—the topics covered included the encouraging rise in I-526/I-526E and I-829 petition approvals. Updates on tax planning, concurrent filing tactics and other topics were also discussed.
On the panel “Live from the Trenches with Consular Post Experts in our APAC Region”, Ryan Barshop was one of the featured speakers. The event’s topics included advice on how to handle visa procedures at U.S. Embassies and Consulates throughout Asia. During a lively and interactive discussion, Ryan provided fellow practitioners with invaluable information by sharing regional trends and practical ideas based on his experiences in Vietnam and the Philippines.
United States immigration attorneys from the United States and the Asia-Pacific region gather for the annual AILA APAC Conference held in a different location in East and South-East Asia to share ideas, policy updates, and cross-border tactics. Enterline & Partners is pleased to participate in these significant debates and to continue to be a part of the international immigration law community.
