"On this webinar, we will review the most common and difficult inadmissibility challenges faced by U nonimmigrant applicants, arguments for those that do not apply, and how to screen for them, discuss how to address them on the Form I-918 application and the Form I-192 waiver request, strategies for winning waivers, and what kinds of inadmissibility waivers have succeeded or failed and why. We will also discuss how to address inadmissibility issues that are triggered after the filing of a U application, after approval of a U application, upon departure from the United States, and at adjustment."
