Top Reasons Hiring an Immigration Lawyer Was the Best Investment for My EB-5 Journey

 Thinking I Could DIY My EB-5 Application After living in New York for five years, I still look back at my EB-5 investment immigration journey with relief. At the most confusing moment, I made a decisive choice: I hired an immigration lawyer. At first, I thought immigration was just about filling out forms and submitting documents. With my business background, I believed I could handle it myself. The EB-5 requirements seemed simple: invest $800,000 in a government-approved project and create 10 full-time jobs. But once I started preparing, I realized how naive I had been. Project compliance checks, proof of fund origins, ongoing employment reports—each step felt like climbing a mountain.

When you think of the French Riviera, images of glamorous yachts, turquoise waters, and golden sunsets instantly come to mind. But the best way to experience St. Tropez by boat isn’t about picking the biggest yacht—it’s about planning a perfect day that feels both effortless and unforgettable. Last month, I booked a 45-foot day yacht with Yacht Charter St. Tropez , and it turned into the ultimate luxury travel experience: calm, tailored, and designed to match the natural rhythm of the coast. Top Tip: Leave St. Tropez Harbor Before 9:30 AM There’s a unique magic in slipping out of St. Tropez before the harbor wakes up. The docks are quiet, the sea is still, and it feels like the Riviera belongs to you alone. Preparation the night before makes all the difference: Check the weather forecast (a light easterly breeze pointed us toward Pampelonne Beach). Share a live location for the Vieux Port so no one is late. Pack light with a soft canvas bag (hard suitcases scratch the deck)...

 I’ve never considered myself a sports fan. Sure, out of loyalty, I’ll root for a New York team if pressed, but the games themselves never really hooked me.

This summer, female athletes lit up courts, fields, and cycling routes with dazzling jewelry that turned sports arenas into runway-worthy showcases.

As someone who has spent years building a smart home that balances convenience and functionality, I’ve learned that “smart” is not just about connecting devices to an app. The real game-changer is artificial intelligence (AI) —how it transforms gadgets into proactive helpers. Recently, I tested two of the best AI-powered robot vacuums on the market: the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo and the Dreame X40 Ultra .
