Immigration Attorney Bolsters Virginia’s Economy With EB-5 Investors











Beeraj Patel, Attorney-at-Law

Fairfax, Virginia (PRWEB) September 14, 2013

Patel Law Firm is being contracted to obtain EB-5 visas for potential foreign investors seeking to establish new hotels in the DC Metropolitan and Virginia areas. Immigration attorney Beeraj Patel will lobby for the foreign investors’ visas from the USCIS EB-5 program. Upon successfully obtaining EB-5 visas, hotel construction will bring millions of dollars in local and state tax revenue in addition to creating numerous direct and indirect full-time jobs for local residents.

Created in 1990, the EB-5 investor visa is aimed at foreign investors seeking U.S. permanent residency. EB-5 investor visas serve an immediate dual purpose of first providing a direct path to permanent residency for the investor while also creating a minimum of ten full-time U.S. positions in the targeted development area. For independent projects not associated with Regional Centers, a minimum requirement to obtain EB-5 status is an initial investment of at least $ 1,000,000.00 in a new or ongoing business, in this case brand name hotels. EB-5 investor projects create both “direct” and “indirect” jobs. Direct jobs are the positions created immediately by the project, while indirect jobs are those created by a third-party assisting with the project such as the purchasing of additional materials or services needed to complete the project.

The foreign investors and domestic developers which Mr. Patel currently represents are focusing on constructing Hilton and Marriott brand associated properties because their franchise locations carry a higher value being worth tens of millions of dollars each. Examples of investments in the United States include a Marriott International constructed in 2008 in Seattle worth $ 88 million and a Marriott located in Los Angeles worth $ 168 million neighboring the Staples Center. Projects do not necessarily need to be of this magnitude financially, but any case involving sizable investment has a pattern of greatly helping local economies for surrounding areas as well as attracting other foreign investors. These are long-term, high-involvement projects and are expected to last several years and yield millions in tax revenue annually for the local economy. Projects like these are so valuable because they hold immediate as well as long-term benefits for the regions which they occur in.

Uptick in Corporate, Personal Travel Drives Job Growth on TravelingCrossing.com











TravelingCrossing.com


Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2013

The U.S. Travel Association announced that travel remains the largest U.S. export, increasing 8.9 percent in the first seven months of 2013. An uptick in corporate and personal travel has driven job growth for the sector on TravelingCrossing.com.

According to the U.S. Travel Association, the country’s travel industry is one of the biggest contributors to the U.S. economy, to the tune of $ 14.8 billion a year. A burgeoning travel sector has been one of the key factors behind the decline in the U.S. trade deficit, with travel exports rising 8.9 percent in the first seven months of 2013 compared to 2012. Overall, according to the report, the travel sector has been responsible for 32 percent of the increase in U.S. exports during 2013. Nonessentials like travel, entertainment and leisure activities are typically the first areas cut by families in economically difficult times. The growth in the travel industry points to a rise in household disposable income and overall confidence in the economic future. The U.S. Travel Association is a non-profit group that represents the country’s travel industry.

On TravelingCrossing.com, a leading site for travel sector jobs, employer-hiring trends were indicative of the sector’s strong economic activity. There were a significant number of openings for travel agents, travel managers, and other travel coordination-type of jobs. Many of the currently advertised openings are concentrated in business and corporate travel. As the overall business has picked up for U.S. companies, so has business-related travel. Much in the same way that personal travel declined, companies were quick to cut travel budgets entirely or, at the very least, keep it to a minimum.

As businesses have recovered financially, corporate travel has also picked up, driving job growth in the airline industry and among travel agencies. Some businesses travel frequently and need services that can cater to specialized needs. Working with a booking agency can streamline the process for companies that want to avoid making the arrangements on their own, or need to do it on a large scale.

About TravelingCrossing:

TravelingCrossing is part of the Employment Research Institute, which is one of the most powerful and comprehensive organizations dedicated to helping professionals find jobs that will enhance their careers. Employment Research Institute consists of 120+ of industry-specific and 120+ location-specific job boards which consolidates every job opening it can find in one convenient location.

JonasInsuranceAdvisors.com Encourage the Purchase of Life Insurance Following Significant Milestones










New York, NY (PRWEB) September 03, 2013

JonasInsuranceAdvisors.com encouraged readers to consider purchasing or upgrading life insurance policies following significant milestones, such as marriage, or the purchase of a home. This urging came on the heels of an August 30th Life Health Pro article titled “5 Events That Increase the Need for Life Insurance.” This article discusses 5 occurrences that should spur individuals to action—but often fail to. JonasInsuranceAdvisors.com urged readers to consider life insurance a necessity, whether it is a Maine term life insurance policy or a simple mortgage life insurance policy.

Corey Dahl, Brian Anderson, and Brian Gilbert, a writing trio for Life Health Pro, penned the aforementioned article, listing 5 events that may increase an individual’s need or desire to purchase life insurance. The first is marriage, as marriage joins two lives and two incomes. In the event of a death, the spouse may suffer emotional and monetary hardship without the assistance of a life insurance policy to replace lost income. Starting a family is second on the list. Children necessitate greater coverage, as income will need to be replaced at a higher rate, and mortgage payments and college funds may also need to be funded. The third milestone is purchasing a home. Like childbirth, purchasing a home places additional strain on a family, necessitating greater financial coverage. Starting a business is the fourth item on the list; many businesses are unable to survive after the accidental death of an owner. Life insurance may offset some of the financial difficulty brought on by a business owner’s death. The final item on the list involves aged parents. Many families experience increased financial strain as parents grow older and their children must assist in their care. An insurance policy may help pay for nurse’s bills or permanent care in the event of a child’s death and inability to care for a parent.

Whether an individual or family has a basic life insurance policy, such as a Maine term life insurance policy, or no policy at all, JonasInsuranceAdvisors.com urges the purchase or upgrade of life insurance following significant milestones. As the article above suggests, great milestones in life often come with increased financial burdens. Children bring a greater need for food and provisions, as well as the potential for college and savings funds. Purchasing a home adds a mortgage payment to a family’s financial burden. As each milestone in life is passed, individuals and families should consider upgrading a current policy or, in the case of the uninsured, purchasing a first policy. Doing so will ensure that loved ones such as aged parents or children will not be prevailed upon by debts and expenses left behind by the deceased. Purchasing or increasing life insurance after the purchase of a home will allow those who have been left behind to pay off the house or continue to make payments without severe financial difficulty. As personal milestones develop, revising a life insurance policy becomes not merely a wise decision, but a necessity.

Corey Dahl, Brian Anderson, and Brian Gilbert are a writing team for Life Health Pro, focusing their expertise on life insurance and life insurance sales. Dahl has worked for Life Health Pro for 2 years. Anderson, the veteran of the group, has written for Life Health Pro for over 6 years, as well as acting as Editor in Chief for Life Insurance Selling magazine. Gilbert is the newest addition to Life Health Pro, lending his voice to life insurance news and sales.

Following an article regarding 5 new stages of life that ought to prompt the purchase of life insurance, JonasInsuranceAdvisors.com urged readers to consider the purchase or upgrade of insurance plans to suit growing needs. Though a simple policy, as Maine term life insurance offers, may function well for an individual or small family, it may need to be expanded to manage growing expenses related to significant life changes, such as the addition of a family member, mortgage payment, or management of a business. Rather than maintaining a single plan for all situations, consumers should consider reflecting their life changes in their insurance policy to avoid inadequate coverage and monetary hardship.

Freight Trailer Manufacturing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld











IBISWorld Market Research


Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) September 03, 2013

The Freight Trailer Manufacturing in Australia industry is highly dependent on its downstream industries. Although operators supply trailers to a number of diverse clients, the severity of the economic downturn and its flow-on effects have caused relatively slower growth in the industry. There are several channels through which this has occurred. Poor business sentiment has caused lower construction levels. Slower economic activity resulted in businesses carrying less stock, leading to a lower general need for transportation. Both of these factors translated into lower demand for new trailers. This was somewhat counterbalanced by a stronger demand from mining, which helped to drive revenue growth in the later part of the past five years. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Andrei Ivanov, “lower construction levels were also mitigated, to some extent, by increasing public spending on infrastructure projects”.

Overall, industry revenue is forecast to grow at annual compound growth rate of 2.1% over the five years through 2013-14 to reach $ 879.6 million. “However, this is calculated off a low base figure, and the industry did experience a significant downturn following the onset of the financial crisis,” says Ivanov. In 2013-14, the industry is forecast to grow by 4.3%. The industry has a medium share of concentration that belies the level of fragmentation that exists beyond the major players. The most significant operators in the industry are MaxiTRANS Industries Limited and Vawdrey Australia Pty Ltd.

The outlook for the Freight Trailer Manufacturing industry remains positive, but it is unlikely to achieve growth rates on par with those reached before the financial crisis. Mining will decrease as a source of industry revenue as more projects reach completion and come online. Furthermore, transportation of mined ore via rail infrastructure is more cost-effective and will present strong competition to trucking in this market segment. Lower interest rates are expected to bode well for construction. Residential construction is anticipated to grow in the short term. Commercial construction is set to follow as business sentiment improves and private investment gains steam. This will drive sales of new trailers and generate revenue for the industry. Favourable weather conditions in Australia, combined with droughts in the US and a growing demand for wheat in China, are expected to drive the demand for Australian grain. Increased production is anticipated to translate into higher demand for trailers as a means of transportation for bulk commodities.

New Austin Business and SEO Training Blog Launched by JM Internet Group












Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 01, 2013

The JM Internet Group, a top provider of online SEO training, is proud to announce their latest business training blog called ‘Austin Biz’, (http://www.Austin-training.org). ‘Austin Biz’ is a business blog for local entrepreneurs and small businesses providing training tips and secrets on Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing, and AdWords.

“While our training is taught online, I do quite a few localized workshops in cities such as Austin, TX,” explained Jason McDonald, Director of the JM Internet Group. “Our new blog project creates localized content to help small businesses and entrepreneurs find local business training resources as well as to consider the power of Internet-based training.”

To read the new ‘Austin Biz’ blog, go to http://www.Austin-training.org/, as the blog provides valuable information on local Austin SEO training as well as general small business training and learning opportunities within Austin, TX.

More on ‘Austin Biz’

It’s not always easy to find small business resources outside of large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, or San Francisco. Small businesses can find it quite difficult to learn the rules of Internet marketing such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Social Media Marketing (SMM), or Google AdWords, and the ‘Austin Biz’ blog caters to this need, compiling information on non-profits, government sites, libraries and other agencies that can help small businesses get started or make the transition to a more effective Internet marketing strategy.

Ironically, many of the local government or non-profit organizations do not themselves understand SEO and so they are not very visible to the small business owner in Austin! The ‘Austin Biz’ blog addresses this inadequacy as well as helping small business use the Internet to find local business resources.

About JM Internet Group

The JM Internet Group provides SEO, Social Media Marketing, and Google AdWords training and courses for busy marketers and businesspeople. Online search engine optimization training helps explain keywords, page tags, link building strategies and other techniques needed to climb to the top of search engine rankings for Google, Yahoo, and Bing. The teaching methodology is hands on, with live examples and discussions, taught from the convenience of each student’s computer.
