Join us at the 2020 AILA Spring Conference and Webcast to receive an insider’s view of what is happening at the agencies! Hear directly from agency officials and AILA liaison committees about the changing decisions that affect your practice and clients. Learn about the latest issues, policy changes, and hot topics in agency adjudications, and receive a summary of the most recent liaison meeting discussions. The conference also will include a panel on litigation tactics for attorneys looking for alternative solutions in this challenging environment. New this year, the conference will feature presentations by USCIS officials and an H-1B Registration Tool Assistance Area, where practitioners can discuss lessons learned and brainstorm with staff and other members on issues related to using the new H-1B registration tool, as well as ask USCIS officials technical questions.
