the legal and policy cal lengths we faced were greatest in the it the eb-5 program the most complex program uscis administers. eb-5 cases require complicated business and economic analysis, such as whether the required amount of investment capital is at risk and whether the he can no metric models used to predict future job creation are reasonable. unlike traditional immigration adjudications at that involve an application that is several pages in length echl b 5 cases require different stages of agency review and often involve thousands of pages of legal and business documents. the eb-5 program was underdeveloped when i arrived at uscis in august 2009. at that time the program only had had approximately nine adjudicators, the agency did not provide them with the needed economic business or corporate law expertise to support them. applicants did not have to tile a form as required in other visa categories, but instead would submit an informal letter. the agency's national security and anti-fraud screening needed to be strengthened. there was no comprehensive eb-5 policy document, but rather

expertise to bear in the vetting of eb-5 petitioners. >> i commend you. do you know in this case if they were vetted for national security reasons? >> his no involvement to the best of my recollection -- >> would you have intervened in a case like this and rewrite the discussion if you knew there was any national security concern? >> mr. chairman, let me say two things. one, i was brought -- i became involved in the case to address discreet issues, number one. and not all of the issues involved in a case. but i -- >> this does draw an issue and concern. >> if i may mr. chairman -- >> -- properly voteding applicants? >> if i may because this is important and goes to a number of issues. i read a report that raised concerns of national security or fraud in this case, and i referred this case immediately myself to our fraud detection and national security directorate. when an issue arose in the green tape cape -- and i believe it was subsequent to our resolution of the at-risk management and issues involving the case, i learned of a concern, i believed it was

meyer kiss and the eb-5 program. the inspector general clearly laid out the evidence against mayorkis. the report explains how he intervened on three political cases each had high profile connections. despite the outrage, it seems to me you have no intention of doing anything and planning to stick by mr. myorkis even though he provided preferential treatment and violated the very rules he wrote about ethical conduct. it's no n wonder that there is a morale -- it's no wonder that there is a morale problem. employees see leadership getting away with violating the rules. employees are given clear rules on preferential treatment and how do you adjudicate eb-5. yet when the director himself breaks those rules there is no recourse and then what are employees to think about that? the only defense that i have seen so far on the reverential -- preferential treatment is the agency gets pressure from members of congress and from both sides of the aisle. i think that that's comparing apples and/or rangs. it is no ex-- and oranges

the inspector general report on the eb five program, he laid out the evidence against.ains how we intervene against three particular cases, each of which had high-profile political connections. it seems to me you have no intention of doing anything and plenty stick by mr. miorka. it is no wonder there is a moral problem at the department. employees see leaders getting away with violating the rules. employees are given clear rules on preferential treatment and how to if you do gate. yet, when the director himself breaks those rules, what our employees to think about that? the only defense i've seen so for any preferential treatment is the agency gets pressure from agents of congress. i think that is comparing apples and oranges. members of congress are in a position to affect final decisions like a director. secretary johnson, i think that it causes a loss of credibility with many people that work within the department. it is a shame there has been -- it has been tolerated by you and others in the administration. i will go to my first question. i want to ask about mr. he
