This CLE will provide an introduction to Employment-Based (EB) immigration law for attorneys and paralegals. We will provide an overview of some common non-immigrant (temporary) work visas and routes to permanent residence through PERM labor certification and PERM-exempt processing. Our speakers include an in-house immigration attorney and an experienced immigration paralegal (turned law student), to discuss their experiences and perspectives. We welcome immigration attorneys new to EB immigration, new lawyers to the bar, or any other attorney interested in getting an overview on these topics to grow your practice or issue spot for clients. Paralegals can attend for free and are encouraged to attend. There will be an opportunity for in-person networking after the event.
