This training will focus on processing family visa petitions. It is designed for paralegals, accredited representatives, and attorneys relatively new to the field, as well as for experienced service providers who want a review and comprehensive overview of recent developments.

This full day program will cover the process of family immigration, including visa categories, definition of qualified relatives, use of priority dates, filing procedures, adjustment of status eligibility (including recent developments in 245(i) adjustment), consular processing, and the grounds of inadmissibility and waivers, with special emphasis on the three- and ten-year bars of INA section 212(a)(9).
