In this webinar ASISTA Executive Director Gail Pendleton and ASISTA Senior Legal Counsel Laura Flores Bachman will discuss:
- How to address ongoing policy/practice changes causing U visa delays and denials, including fee waiver denials, U adjustment denials for acts waived at the U phase, disappearing RFEs and improvidently issued NTAs;
- Best practices for framing qualifying crimes and inadmissibility waiver arguments; and
- New strategies for ensuring U applicants are not deported while awaiting USCIS’ decisions on their cases (stays, mandamus and Sanchez-Sosa continuances)
Stay tuned for more information on December’s webinar, which will provide a deeper discussion of new skills to avoid survivor removal (i.e., stays, mandamus & EOIR strategies).
Note: An application for TX CLE credit (2 hrs) is pending.
