Irina Rostova

Irina Rostova, Esq. focuses her practice on the EB-5 and E-2 immigrant investor visa programs. Both an economist and attorney by training, she is passionate about her work with foreign investors, and is dedicated to providing clients with the comprehensive legal support necessary to assist them during the process of selecting a qualifying investment project, or in the establishment of their own new commercial enterprise; as well as in the preparation of their applicable petition. 

Mrs. Rostova travels regularly to Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe, where she works with local attorneys and media outlets to increase and improve understanding of the EB-5 and E-2 programs, and to create a better understanding of the risk of loss in the US due to immigrants participating in programs that contain unverified investments. 

She also serves as a market consultant to various Regional Centers, assisting them in how best to present their opportunities in the former Soviet Republics, enabling them to close cultural and communication gaps with investors from Eastern Europe and Russia. Mrs. Rostova utilizes her fluency in the Russian language and her keen understanding of the business culture of the CIS countries to facilitate a smooth transition for clients seeking to conduct business and place investments in the United States. 

Prior to joining GMLG, Ms. Rostova was an assistant manager at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and she has also worked at a Miami-based commercial litigation law firm, specializing in insurance and contract dispute matters. 

Since 2004 Mrs. Rostova has also served as a Vice President of Rostov Enterprises, an entity that oversees the operations of the Rostov family businesses and investments in the areas of real estate and construction. Mrs. Rostova’s own personal experience as a business manager and investor allows her to extend practical and strategic legal advice to immigrant investors and entrepreneurs seeking US business visas.
