Navigating Inadmissibility: Practical Insights from Global Consular Officers
Note: This program does not include any U.S. consular Officers
AILA members are invited to a 75-minute conversation with consular officers from around the world on how their consular posts assess, process, and resolve cases involving inadmissibility. This session will move beyond the statutory context to focus on how decisions are made in practice and what effective advocacy looks like in real-world settings. This session aims to address the challenges, risks, and practical considerations that consular officers consider when assessing immigration applications involving criminal records.
Featured Topics of the Consular Panel include:
- Frameworks of Inadmissibility
- Overcoming Inadmissibility: Tools & Strategies
- Volume, Trends & Processing Realities
- Procedural Fairness & Consular Practice
- Practical Guidance for Practitioners
Coming Soon!
