2026 AILA midwinter conference and webcast

Join BAL’s Rusty DeMoss at the 2026 AILA Midwinter Conference and Webcast in Costa Rica for the Advanced Topics: NIVs panel, where he and fellow experts will dive into what’s hot in nonimmigrant visas (NIVs). This dynamic session will explore strategies for navigating today’s most pressing NIV challenges, including requests for evidence across visa categories O-1, H-1B, L and cases involving criminal issues. Panelists will also address evolving H-1B concerns such as cap regulatory changes and Standard Occupational Classification code updates, student visa issues including SEVIS and OPT and the complex interplay between NIV denials and removal defense, including the issuance of notices to appear.
