The immigration process can sometimes feel like a never-ending journey, filled with delays and unanticipated detours. The expert faculty for this one-day conference will address the many possible routes a case can take on this voyage (including those that seem unclear), and provide practical tips and suggestions to help attorneys navigate the immigration process. Speakers will address current challenges faced by practitioners in the areas of employment-based immigration, removal, and family-based immigration. Speakers will incorporate issues unique to New York, the nation’s original cultural kaleidoscope. Attendees will hear the latest news and practical information directly from AILA liaison committee members. Finally, there will be opportunities for attendees to network with colleagues.
Register today and get important tools and information to help your cases stay on course.
