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).

A fee will be charged for this training.
In case of economic hardship, fee waiver or reduction may be available upon request.

Space is limited 40 people. Registration and payment in advance are required!

  • CLE Credit Comments: 3 credits in skills. This course provides transitional credit for newly admitted attorneys and non-transitional credit for experienced attorneys.
