With her deep understanding of the intricacies involved in consular and port of entry processing, she is uniquely positioned to guide practitioners through the complexities of vital aspects of immigration law.
The AILA Northern Border Conference provides an opportunity for practitioners to compare and contrast U.S. and Canadian immigration law, to hear from immigration experts and to have an in-person dialogue with those reviewing clients’ applications.
