Curriculum:

This intensive one day training will cover the law and procedure of U nonimmigrant status for victims of certain crimes. The trainers will discuss the eligibility requirements for U status; law enforcement certification issues, waivers of the grounds of inadmissibility; strategies for preparing winning applications; and adjustment of status for U nonimmigrants.
