This session will provide an overview of the two pathways to family-based adjustment of status under INA §245(a) and INA §245(i). The presenters will highlight some of the key challenges that may arise in these cases, including when the bars at INA 245(c) may apply, screening for hidden inadmissibility issues, and how certain policies may affect adjudications and eligibility for adjustment. Our discussion will also touch upon practical considerations to keep in mind when working with clients to build and document their adjustment cases.
