Immigration Law

OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents Immigration Law with Michael Shabani, Immigration Lawyer.  The session will cover illegal aliens in Alabama, work permits, residency, and waivers of extreme hardship.  Immigration law is a Federal law; however, in 2011 Alabama passed a law to arrest foreign nationals working without a permit.  The law requires all employers to require work permits and the I-9 form from employees.  Employers must E-Verify the employee’s Social Security card.  Immigrants do have due process rights under the 4th and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
