Elevating the Case: Strategies for Helping Clients with USCIS Issues

Topics:
  • Deferred Action

The Immigration Advocates Network (IAN) is excited to announce its fifth annual e-conference fundraiser, "Cutting Edge Issues in Immigration Law." Join us for a week-long series of interactive online trainings with national experts on representing children, administrative advocacy, entry & admission, U visas, and provisional waivers. We explore the issues through the lens of current events and the latest legal developments. In this session, the panel will cover common issues with DACA and other cases such as processing delays, rejections, requests for evidence, correcting typographical mistakes and agency error. The panel will discuss points of access within USCIS, and how to engage the Ombudsman’s office. The panelists are Jill Marie Bussey, Advocacy Attorney, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC); Jose Magaña-Salgado, Managing Policy Attorney, Immigrant Legal Resource Center; and Allison Posner, Chief of Casework, Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman.

  • Listen to nationally-recognized experts from the comfort of your own office;
  • Participate in "ask the expert" sessions during each interactive training;
  • Access presentations and handouts before the training session;
  • Take interactive quizzes and polls before and during conference sessions; and
