Immigration Law Concerning Removal Proceedings and Temporary Agricultural Workers by Anna Medrano: Court Rules

Most of the law in Immigration comes from the Board of Immigration Appeal. This practice manual guides attorneys and representatives on practice before the board.

"This manual is a comprehensive “how to” manual detailing policies and procedures for all aspects of the Adjudications Program. The iAFM is intended to be used in conjunction with other reference material, such as the Immigration and Nationality Act and Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These other volumes contain unique information and the iAFM is not intended to duplicate or replace them."

This is a tool for Immigration judges but it shares information that is useful in adjudication of immigration cases. Such information such as tools, legal resources and templates.

"The manual is structured to house several volumes pertaining to different areas of immigration benefits administered by the agency such as citizenship and naturalization, adjustment of status, admissibility, protection and parole, nonimmigrants, refugees, asylees, immigrants, waivers, and travel and employment." This guide is meant to replace the Adjudicator's Field Manual.

If eligible, individuals in removal proceedings can apply for various immigration benefits, which if granted, provide relief from removal, such as adjustment to permanent resident status, cancellation of removal, and certain waivers of inadmissibility. Eligible individuals may also seek asylum or withholding of removal, among other forms of protection relief. Provide additional information regarding the process for relief.
