All info shared today is used by you at your own risk. This is meant to be educational in nature and is not legal advice. We are sharing this information as a public service and encourage you to consult competent, experienced immigration attorneys about the specific facts of your case and your immigration history to determine what risks you have and what benefits you may be eligible for, if any. We are not your attorneys. We are also not criminal attorneys. We are not employment lawyers. We are immigration lawyers.

As such , the information provided here is based on questions we have received in our meetings with clients, in our consultations with potential clients, and over the years of experience working within immigration law whether it's at the USCIS agency level or arguing before immigration judges and federal judges and appealing cases with the Board of Immigration Appeals and other agencies. Much of the information you will hear today is also available for free from legal organizations who are fighting for your rights in court including the American Civil Liberties union (the ACLU), the national immigration project, and the national immigration litigation alliance. Our goal today is to compact a lot of their very useful information into small bites of information and ideas that you can use. We know that this whole subject matter is scary and a lot of what we say may be overwhelming. Again, we strongly suggest you do your own research and seek out the opinions of other immigration attorneys regarding the specifics of what's best to do in your case.

Here are some of the resources we mentioned in the discussion:
