If Your Law Practice Includes Immigration At All, You Should Be There


How do I:

1. Find out what to do when USCIS says NVC has the file, and NVC says it doesn’t?
2. Get a step-by-step rundown of how to fill out a Form I-129 and document it?
3. Find the hidden time bombs in an affidavit of support?
4. Obtain the low-down on what to expect in immigration court straight from 3
Immigration Judges?
5. Get therapy for my RFE/denial-triggered paranoia?
6. Deal with the black hole that is the material support bar?
7. Get Ira Kurzban to answer my questions?

The answers to all those questions can be found at the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s Annual Conference (http://www.aila.org/ac), starting the evening of Wednesday, June 3, at the Palazzo/Venetian Congress Center in Las Vegas, specifically:
