Spring and Summer of 2025 have brought changes to USCIS and ICE practices surrounding applicants for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), as well as other programs relevant to unaccompanied children (UC). The changes affect both the applicants themselves and their families or other Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) sponsors. Join experts from the ABA Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) for a webinar covering what you need to know now to support your young survivor clients and those who care for them. This webinar is appropriate for any level of practitioner who already has some familiarity with SIJS and UC issues.

Speakers: 

  • Dalia Castillo-Granados, Director, CILA 
  • Nadia Danilovich, Managing Attorney, CILA 
  • Rebecca Eissenova, Senior Staff Attorney, ASISTA

Note: This webinar will be presented in English only.

Webinar Cost: ASISTA Special Webinars are open to all who are interested in learning about these issues. These webinars are not free for ASISTA members or OVW grantees, and we charge all attendees a nominal fee to cover our expenses.

  • $35/attendee
