In this webinar, we will explore the types of crimes that may affect a person’s eligibility to immigrate through the family based preference system. We will also discuss the types of crimes that can be waived under INA § 212(h), who is eligible for this waiver, and how discretion is exercised by the government in family based immigration cases.
Applications for Relief in Removal Proceedings
Thursday, June 10, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm PDT (1.5 MCLE)
Presenters: Kathy Brady and Angie Junck (Host), ILRC
Deadline to register: 6/8/10

In this webinar, we will explore arguments that a noncitizen is eligible to apply for relief from removal, such as LPR and non-LPR cancellation, the former 10-year suspension and 212(c) waiver, and 212(h) waivers, despite having a conviction that would appear to be a bar. The emphasis here is on proving that the noncitizen is statutorily eligible to apply for the relief, and not on how to present equities, etc. to win the relief. We will also discuss arguing that the government has the burden of proving that a conviction under a divisible statute is a bar to relief.
