Partner Camiel Becker will speak on a national webinar titled “DACA and TPS Under Attack: Using Employment-Based Strategies to Obtain a More Secure Status” on Friday, September 25, 2020 at 11:00 AM PST (2:00 pm ET). That national American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) based out of Washington, DC, is hosting the webinar for immigration lawyers across the US. Camiel will join John C.
