Product Description
Product Description

Whether you represent employers, families, domestic relations clients, the accused, employees or students, more likely than not, you will encounter immigration issues in one form or another during the course of your practice. Here's an indispensable desk reference—to bring you up to speed on critical issues facing immigration, naturalization, deportation, visas—and more. The Immigration Practice Manual covers an extraordinary range of immigration-related topics, from E1/E2 nonimmigration visa procedures, to proceedings before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the immigration consequences of criminal convictions.

Recent updates:
- Update: October 2022
  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for choosing to keep your copy of MCLE's Immigration Practice Manual current for 2022. Inside this update, you will find materials on topics such as these:
  - Removal. See chapter 18 for a citation to a case decided in May 2022 wherein the Supreme Court held that federal courts of appeals are barred from reviewing factual findings underlying the denial of relief from removal in the forms of cancellation of removal, voluntary departure, adjustment of status, and waivers sought pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h) and (i).
  - I-9 compliance; receipt rule. See chapter 29 for new commentary on USCIS's 2021 policy stating that it will consider L-2 and E dependent spouses (but not H-4 dependent spouses) work authorized incident to their status, meaning that these dependent spouses will not need to apply for an EAD to work in the United States. Also see chapter 29 for three areas of the HSI labor exploitation mission.
  - Asylum. See chapter 30 for new information regarding DHS and DOJ rules that are changing the way in which asylum applications of asylum seekers who are subject to expedited removal are processed within the immigration system. The chapter also includes a new practice note guiding the reader on key elements of proving "persecution" in connection with asylum.
  - STEM scholars. See chapter 32 for the Biden-Harris administration's statement with regard to the advancement of predictability and clarity for pathways for international STEM scholars. The update discusses amendments to the USCIS Policy Manual that recognize "the importance of progress in STEM fields and the essential role of persons with advanced STEM degrees in fostering this progress, especially in focused critical and emerging technologies."
  - DEI commentary. Please note, also, that with this new edition for 2022, MCLE has incorporated practical commentaries on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which were contributed by DEI commentators Annelise M. Araujo, Esq., and Stefanie Fisher, Esq., partners of the firm of Araujo & Fisher LLC. Seventeen such commentaries have been added to the chapters of this publication.
  We at MCLE trust that you will find this new edition useful in your immigration practice and valuable in keeping your library current.
  
  Cordially,
  
  Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., MCLE Director of Publications
