In this webinar, we will analyze the grounds of inadmissibility and waivers of those grounds and discuss the 2009 amendments to the CIS Adjudicator's Field Manual on the grounds of inadmissibility. We will also explain the requirements for eligibility for Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal under INA § 240A(b)(1). In addition, we will explore the different standards of hardship in immigration law and how they have been applied by the DHS, the BIA, and the courts in different contexts, with particular emphasis on looking at the differences and similarities between "extreme hardship" and "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship," as defined by case law. We will also teach you how to use the case law to make effective arguments for establishing both "extreme" and "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship," and how to work with clients to elicit the information necessary to substantiate their hardship claims.
- CLE Credit Comments: The ILRC will provide California CLE for this training. If you are an attorney and a member of another state bar, we will provide a Uniform Certificate of Attendance, which you can submit for possible credit. Please check with your state bar for details.
