Here are some upcoming events where Jonathan will be presenting on various immigration law topics, providing valuable information and training to other immigration attorneys across the country. If you are a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), come check by and say hi at one of the following:
October 19, 2011 at 12:00pm (EST) in Miami, Florida. Jonathan will be reprising his presentation from the AILA National Conference this past summer on the topic of Abandonment of Residence, how those with green cards can avoid losing them. The format is a monthly meeting of the South Florida chapter of AILA. Jonathan is very excited to be presenting again with Gary Endelman, one of the real experts in abandonment of residence issues. Mod erating the panel is the esteemed author of Kurzban’s Immigration Law Sourcebook, Ira Kurzban. If you are thinking of practicing in the area of immigration law, it borders on malpractice not to own this book!
November 17, 2011 at 1:00pm (CST) AILA national web seminar titled: “204(l) and the Posthumous Petitioner: It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over.” Jonathan will serve as Discussion Leader for the panel, featuring Brent Renison and Barbara Bower as panelists. Brent is a real hero for his tireless efforts in combating and ultimately defeating the Widow Penalty where spouses of US citizens were rendered without options to finish their immigration cases if their spouses happened to die during the process.
December 9, 2011 at 11:30am, Missouri-Kansas AILA Chapter presentation on INA 204(l) and the Posthumous Petitioner. Jonathan will present the information from the web seminar in a lunch presentation following the monthly liaison meeting between the local AILA chapter and the US CIS Kansas City Field Office. Location is still to be determined. Meeting is open to all AILA members.
