How an Absence Can Affect One's Naturalization Application (1.5 CA MCLE)
October 10, 2012, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm PDT
Presenters: Eric Cohen, ILRC Executive Director and Erin Quinn, ILRC Staff Attorney

An absence from the U.S. can affect one’s ability to naturalize in a myriad of ways. During this webinar, we will discuss the different ways in which an absence from the U.S. can affect a client’s naturalization application, including the effect upon his or her continuous residence, physical presence, abandonment of residence, and removability. We will discuss the law, important cases, and hypothetical cases.

Abandonment of Citizenship (1.0 CA MCLE)
November 29, 2012, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PDT
Presenters: Don Ungar, Of Counsel to Simmons & Ungar and the ILRC and Nora Privitera, ILRC Special Projects Attorney & Lead Staff Attorney

This advanced webinar will focus on significant aspects of the law that tend to be overlooked: the loss of American citizenship and its potentially painful consequences, not only for  the naturalized citizen who got it unlawfully or others who abandon it voluntarily, but also for relatives who might have acquired or could acquire an immigration benefit through them. We will examine the grounds for and procedures related to denaturalization and the acts under INA §349 that may be construed as a voluntary abandonment.
