Who meets the threshold requirement of having been “inspected and admitted or paroled” for adjustment of status under INA 245(a)? Are there other avenues to adjust status if someone last entered without inspection? This webinar will focus on the adjustment of status process for individuals pursuing permanent resident status through a family petition here in the United States, including recent policy changes that have impacted this process. We will compare 245(i) eligibility and traditional adjustment under 245(a), as well as strategies for establishing adjustment eligibility. On April 23 we will follow up this webinar with an in-depth discussion of how changes in discretion and enforcement practices impact an application for adjustment of status, including preparing for the interview, talking to clients about risk, and strategy considerations. Participants are welcome to sign up for one or both of this two-part adjustment of status webinar series.
