This seminar will analyze the grounds of inadmissibility and waivers of those grounds, and include a detailed discussion of the most common of those grounds, such as unlawful presence, misrepresentation, and crimes of moral turpitude. 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. Sample waiver applications will be included in the course materials, and we will teach participants how to use case law to make effective arguments for establishing both "extreme" and "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship." We will explain how to work with clients to elicit the information necessary to substantiate their hardship claims, as well as local CIS office practices.
