This seminar is intended for legal service providers who are new to the area of family-based immigration and will focus on the basics of the family visa petition. We will go over the I-130 petition, including what relatives can qualify for family-based immigration; how priority dates are established, lost and recaptured; how beneficiaries of family petitions move around the preference categories with events such as marriage, divorce or the naturalization of the petitioner; what is the role of the visa bulletin and what happens when the visa availability date advances or regresses. The discussion will include an overview of the rules applying to widows and other beneficiaries when the qualifying relative dies. Finally, this seminar will also cover the adjustment of status process under INA 245(a) and the immigrant visa application process through consular processing. There will be a brief introduction to the grounds of inadmissibility.

This seminar is intended for legal service providers generally familiar with the relative petition process and with the adjustment of status application and consular processing. In this training, we will cover more advanced topics such as the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). We will discuss who may still benefit from Adjustment of Status under INA 245(i) with an emphasis on what family relationships result in 245(i) protection and who is “grandfathered” by this statutory clause.  A significant portion of this seminar will be dedicated to the inadmissibility grounds based on health; crimes, misrepresentation and false claims to U.S. citizenship and unlawful voting, alien smuggling, and unlawful presence. The discussion will also include a thorough overview of the exceptions and the waivers corresponding to those grounds of inadmissibility, including who is covered by each waiver and how to meet the requirements. Special attention will be given to the hardship element of various waivers.
