This intensive two-day training will review common and complex issues in family-based immigration law. Topics include: establishing qualifying relationships for family-based petitions; adjustment and consular processing procedures; the Child Status Protection Act; changes in affidavit of support; inadmissibility grounds; and strategies for filing waivers. Through the use of lecture and group exercises, the training will provide a detailed and practical overview of family-based immigration. Participants will receive CLINIC’s Family-Based Immigration manual. The training will be presented by Charles Wheeler, Director, Division of Training and Technical Support, CLINIC and Sarah Bronstein, staff attorney, CLINIC.

The training is for the staff of Catholic Charities and other community-based organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, and attorneys and legal worker staff of private law offices.
