SUMMARY:Litigation Against Sponsors: Enforcing Form I-864\, Affidavit of Support
DESCRIPTION:Almost every immigration lawyer has seen the Affidavit of Support\, but are you aware of how widely this contract has been enforced in court? While the government rarely pursues reimbursement\, sponsored immigrants have a private right of action against sponsors. This has lead to successful state and federal litigation across the country. Greg McLawsen (Sound Immigration) is an attorney based in Seattle who focuses on representing plaintiffs in these lawsuits. This talk will address:\n\n\nWhat are a sponsor’s duties under the I-864?\nNuts and bolts of enforcement: who gets sued\, where and how?\nFederal vs. state court.\nWhat defenses are available?\nPractice implications for firms handling family-sponsored immigration.\nWritten materials available here (6 articles).\n\n  \nRegister here: \nhttps://aila-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIlde2ppz4oGN0V_C4sqrS3bdLAH4wlhqOY \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
