Immigration and Naturalization for Military Attorneys Live Online Course (Recordings)
Recorded October 2023
Explore the fundamentals of immigration and naturalization law in this free online course designed specifically for lawyers dealing with individuals serving in the military and their families. All sessions were led by nationally recognized American Immigration Lawyers Association attorneys with significant experience and expertise in handling military cases. This webinar series was made possible by funding provided by the American College of Trial Lawyers with the goal of expanding military service members’ access to immigration assistance.
What to Expect
The course consisted of six sessions, presented over two weeks. Each week covered three sessions. Week 1 sessions introduced the nuts and bolts of immigration and naturalization, addressing how the immigration system works, terms frequently used in practice, and common pitfalls. Week 2 sessions examined the immigration laws and practices specific to military members and their families, including consular processing issues, marriage-based adjustment, and parole in place. In addition, our expert faculty provided practical training on how to handle frequently used forms and advise on best practices for recognizing and resolving red-flag issues.
