The PRRA is among the most complex and difficult types of legal submission for an immigration practitioner. It incorporates all the legal complexity of a refugee claim, the technicalities of what constitutes admissible evidence, and the exhausting work of persuasive writing. Experienced practitioners are often loath to be retained on these cases because they involve heavy lifting and advanced legal knowledge. Inexperienced practitioners who “don’t know what they don’t know” naively submit these cases with inappropriate or substandard evidence and arguments.
This seminar will cover in detail the relevant statutory references, policies and case law that you need in order to approach the application with confidence, along with a study of the administrative procedures involved. The course will provide you with tips on gathering and assessing evidence, and presenting the arguments persuasively.
