This webinar will focus on developments in family-based immigration during the last couple of years. Topics discussed will include the new legal provisions regarding the death of a petitioner; the latest developments in consular processing in Ciudad Juárez; current guidance on health-related grounds of inadmissibility; DOMA and marriage-based petitions and other topics. We will also provide an overview of how the preference categories system works and how life events, such as marriage, divorce, birth, and death affect immigrant petitions and the decisions involved in immigrating family members.
