This workshop will focus on preparing successful applications for inadmissibility waivers requiring a showing of "extreme hardship." We will explore what is meant by extreme hardship, and discuss how to document it. The workshop is interactive; among other exercises, participants will critique a number of sample waiver applications. The training assumes knowledge of the grounds of inadmissibility for which waivers are required. This training will be conducted by Jennie Guilfoyle, Esq. of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC).
