Description

Session 1: Impacts of Criminal History on Humanitarian Immigration Eligibility (1.5 hrs.)  

In Session One, we lay out the legal consequences that contact with the criminal legal system may have on a survivor’s eligibility for U, T, and VAWA-related relief. We answer: Which inadmissibility grounds turn on which types of contacts? Which have exceptions? When is a contact a conditional bar, permanent bar, or mere possible “catch-all” bar to good moral character? When does it matter that a survivor was arrested in the same event on which their humanitarian application is based?
