Unique Pizza and Subs Announces they have Retained J. Dhokia Law Firm for EB-5 Funding Program
PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / September 23, 2014 / Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC Pink: UPZS) a Delaware Corporation, is pleased to announce it has retained the services of Joy Dhokia, from the Law Offices of Joy Dhokia, Esq. located in Brea CA. Ms. Dhokia and her law firm will prepare all necessary EB-5 documents and filings for Unique Pizza and Subs Corp. and use their best efforts to acquire qualified potential investors from China, Japan, and India. Ms. Dhokia has 19 years of experience in the field of international business immigration law.
Ms. Dhokia and her firm will work closely with the qualified future Unique Pizza franchisees to prepare, complete and file their USCIS EB-5 Visa application petitions.
Under the EB-5 program, qualifying foreign nationals can receive a green card with a minimum investment of $1,000,000 if they are able to prove that their at-risk money has created at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. citizens. Exceptions are made for $500,000 investments in some rural areas or areas with high unemployment rates. EB-5 investors receive conditional permanent resident status for two years. After this two year period, investors may apply to "remove the condition." The U.S. government's purpose for the EB-5 Program is to help stimulate foreign investment in the U.S., with the goal of boosting the economy and creating jobs.
China is now the dominant market for EB-5 investors. The number of Chinese EB-5 applicants, which has been growing since 2008, represented over 80 percent of the 2012 applicant pool that generated a reported $1.8 billion in total investment. For Fiscal Year 2011, the USCIS reported that China accounted for 73% of the total EB-5 visas issued. The massive influx over the past several years of Chinese EB-5 investment into the U.S. is one of the reasons why Washington, D.C. opened a Shanghai representative office in 2012. According to the Heritage Foundation's January 2013 China Global Investment Tracker report, China invested a record $54.2 billion in the U.S. in 2012.

James Vowler President & CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation said, "I was introduced to the EB5 program about a year ago and I have spent the last year studying the idiosyncrasies and nuances of the program while vetting numerous firms that claim to be able to handle the process of the EB5 program. Many of the companies I spoke with could handle some aspects of the program but none seemed to have mastered them all, until I met with Joy. Ms. Dhokia and her law firm can expertly take care of all the fillings in a timely fashion, and will use her 19 years of direct experience to locate and qualify prospective franchisees. Dr. Reddy also has many connections in China, Japan and especially India and will use his immense network in India to build awareness while he develops the country as the Master Franchisee."
