2026 AILA Chicago chapter Midwest regional conference

Join BAL’s Melissa Boggs at the AILA Chicago chapter Midwest regional conference for an insightful conversation on employment-based visa pathways, particularly for individuals in precarious immigration statuses. Melissa will address the latest updates affecting international students, those with humanitarian protections such as TPS and DACA and other vulnerable groups. The discussion will also explore the impact on employees when employment programs face termination, strategies for activating employment-based nonimmigrant visa status from a precarious position and the ways employers can structure immigration support models to best assist employees navigating these challenges.
