Join CLINIC in El Paso for in-depth training in family based immigration law and an optional tour of the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez. This two-day training will provide updated information and analysis on selected topics on family-based immigration. Topics to be covered include:

  • immigrating based on marriage;
  • immigrating as a child or derivative beneficiary;
  • adjustment of status and consular processing;
  • affidavits of support;
  • ethical issues in family-based immigration;
  • and waivers of inadmissibility.

Speakers include Kristina Karpinski, Susan Schreiber and Charles Wheeler of CLINIC; Margaret Gleason from the USCIS Ombudsman’s Office; Phillip T. Slattery from the National Visa Center, United States Department of State; and representatives from the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez. This training is designed for both beginners and practitioners with more advanced experience in family-based immigration. On the first day, there will be separate tracks for both levels. Newer practitioners are encouraged to attend the optional introductory session on family-based immigration that is scheduled on November 15. View a full agenda here.
