"Hardship, " whether defined as "extreme" or "exceptional and extremely unusual," is a key concept in immigration law. Proving hardship is essential for many kinds of cases, from enabling someone to become a permanent resident through a family member, to proving eligibility for relief from deportation. In this webinar, we will explore how the different standards of hardship in immigration law have been applied by the DHS, the BIA, and the courts, with particular emphasis on looking at the differences and similarities between "extreme hardship" and "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship." More importantly, we will teach you how to prepare a winning case for hardship, how to use the case law to make effective arguments for establishing both "extreme" and "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship," and how to work with clients to elicit the information necessary to substantiate their hardship claims.
