Noncitizen Veteran Immigration Proceedings: Naturalization, Parole in Place, Removal

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine immigration representation when the client is a U.S. military veteran or part of a military-connected family where service history can change the case posture, offer alternative pathways, or change discretionary advocacy approaches in removal proceedings.

Description

The panel will address intake and triage: determining whether the client is already a citizen, assembling service records and discharge documentation, and selecting the correct track for military naturalization or family-based strategy that may involve Military Parole in Place.

The experts will cover the procedures and strategies for crimmigration screening, the downstream immigration consequences of prior pleas, and client counseling around travel, reentry, and enforcement risk. 

Listen as our panel examines the procedures, best practices, and strategies for representing noncitizen veterans and military-connected clients to maximize the ability to build the record, obtain relief, and set realistic expectations.
