Advanced Protecting Survivors of Crime from Removal (Nov 2020)
Learn how to fight (or, at least, how to not go down without a fight) for your crime victim clients! Explore advanced strategies to protect survivors of crime from removal, including motions to continue and motions to reopen for U/T/VAWA applicants in removal proceedings; cancellation of removal under the special rule for battered spouses and children (“VAWA cancellation”); applications for stays of removal for U/T/VAWA applicants; and advocacy with law enforcement agencies for getting those U and T certifications from the law enforcement perspective.
