This is the ELIM Class of 2024. Twenty-two participants from Kansas, California, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and Texas (Brownsville, Austin, McKinney, Keller, and San Antonio)
They took 40 hours of training in basic immigration law and procedure with us on June 10-14. We are so happy for this Class! It is the 14th Summer Institute we have done without interruption. Fourteen wonderful years of training others to do what we do and serve the immigrant community in the U.S.
Register for ELIM Institute 2024
A 40-hour basic immigration law seminar with training sessions taught by a staff of experienced immigration attorneys and fully accredited representatives. Provides a comprehensive survey of immigration law and procedure, with special emphasis on family-based immigration law from a faith-based perspective.
This intensive training event is designed for individuals who wish to apply for Department of Justice (DOJ) accreditation, or who need continuing education hours on family-based immigration law. The DOJ allows non-attorney staff of non-profit and religious organizations to practice immigration law. ELIM’s Summer Institute is a valuable tool for those who seek to serve their immigrant community.
