The APABA Community Service Committee is proud to present:
Introduction to Immigration Practice: Citizenship, Family Immigration, and Humanitarian Visas
Program Detail: This training will provide a primer on immigration law and key issues encountered in an immigration practice. Covered topics include citizenship; family-based immigration; asylum; relief for victims of domestic violence, crime, and trafficking; crimes and deportation; and immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.
The workshop features role-playing exercises to help develop best practices and skills to work effectively with immigration clients.
