The Immigration Advocates Network (IAN) is excited to announce its first annual e-conference, "Cutting Edge Issues in Immigration Law," from October 29 to November 2, 2012. Join us for a week-long series of interactive online trainings with national experts in children's issues, U-visas, naturalization, asylum, and the intersection of immigration and crimes. In addition to discussing emerging issues and best practices in key areas of immigration law, panelists will also consider how each of these areas intersects with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA). The cost of each two-hour training session is $40, which will help to ensure that IAN is able to continue to offer free trainings and resources throughout the year.

About This Session:
This session will briefly review U visa basics, then discuss emerging and more complex issues that arise with aging-out derivatives, consular processing and adjustment, and final orders of removal. The panelists are Sally Kinoshita, Deputy Director, Immigrant Legal Resource Center; Gail Pendleton, Co-Director, ASISTA; and Christie Popp of the Popp Law Office.

• Participate in "ask the expert" sessions during each interactive training;
