This webinar will provide an up-to-date overview of USCIS guidance on extreme hardship that took effect December 5, 2016.  Panelists will review the factors outlined by USCIS as well as the legal standard required for a successful hardship waiver for different grounds of inadmissibility. An important component of the new guidance is the inclusion of “particularly significant factors” or circumstances that strongly support a finding of extreme hardship.  Panelists will explore these scenarios in depth and provide tips on how to connect your client’s story with the elements highlighted in the new guidance.
