This advanced webinar will analyze and compare the unlawful presence bars in INA §§ 212(a)(9)(B) and 212(a)(9)(C) in detail, demonstrating when they apply, what waivers are available and what exceptions exist pursuant to CIS policy. We'll also touch on the application of 212(a)(9)(C) to those with prior removal orders, and discuss the relationship between 212(a)(9)(C) and reinstatement of removal under INA § 241(a)(5). Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of these statutes and be better able to analyze clients' cases, and avoid common pitfalls.
