American Lending Center (ALC) is honored to be recognized as a recipient of the 2025 “I-829 Award” at the IIUSA Industry Forum in April in Washington, DC, marking the second consecutive year ALC has received this distinguished industry recognition.
The I-829 Award reflects the successful fulfillment of the EB-5 Program’s job creation requirements and recognizes organizations that demonstrate long-term project execution, compliance oversight, and responsible fund management throughout the investment lifecycle.
This consecutive-year recognition underscores ALC’s unwavering commitment to its immigrant first investing approach — prioritizing investor success, the highest level of integrity, and full program compliance. Since 2013, ALC has maintained rigorous monitoring standards through third-party construction reports, internal compliance reviews, and enhanced transparency measures, including independent third-party financial audits shared with stakeholders.
“Receiving the I-829 Award for the second consecutive year reflects the strength of ALC’s long-term investment philosophy and our commitment to putting immigrant investors first,” said Gary N. Merson, President of American Lending Center.
“At ALC, compliance is not simply about meeting regulatory standards — it is about honoring the trust our immigrant investors place in us,” said Andrew Diroll-Black, Chief Compliance Officer of American Lending Center. “This award commemorates ALC’s commitment to safeguarding our investors’ capital and ensuring that our investors successfully complete their immigration journey through the whole EB-5 process.”
By maintaining disciplined oversight and prioritizing sustainable economic impact, ALC continues to support projects that create meaningful jobs while helping investors achieve their immigration goals with confidence.
We thank IIUSA for this recognition and remain committed to delivering responsible investment opportunities with integrity, transparency, and long-term accountability.
