Beginning on September 3, 2015, the Tennessee Bar Association is offering a web-based training for practitioners who encounter foreign national unaccompanied minors. Under U.S. Immigration Law, an “unaccompanied minor” is defined as a child present in the United States without one or both parents. Once released to a family member by the Department of Homeland Security, these children face significant legal challenges in applying for a visa to remain in the U.S.

This session is lead by TBA Immigration Law Section Chair Sean Lewis and features the Hon. Sheila Calloway, Davidson County Juvenile Court Judge and Nashville Attorney Steven Simerlein.

The topics include:

• Why are these children coming to the United States?
• What is a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status Visa?
• How Does one Apply For a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status Visa?
• What Predicate Findings Must be Made by a Juvenile Court?
• What is the Proper Single-Parent Vehicle Under Tennessee Juvenile Law?
• Will The Immigration Judge Deport My Client?
