Wiggin and Dana Partner Najia Khalid, a business immigration attorney and Founder/Past Chair of the AILA-Connecticut Chapter’s Business/Corporate Immigration Committee, will present on a panel with esteemed colleagues at the 2024 AILA Annual Conference on Immigration Law. The conference will be held June 12-15, 2024 at the McCormick Place Convention Center West Building in Chicago, IL.  AILA’s annual conference brings together the largest gathering of immigration law professionals in the country. This four-day event with over 120 CLE sessions and 5+ concurrent tracks across business, family, litigation, law practice management, and fundamentals covers an expansive array of topics.

On Thursday, June 13th from 8 a.m. – 9 a.m., Najia will participate in an intermediate-level panel as part of the conference’s business track entitled: Immigration Challenges Faced by Beneficiaries from Countries with Backlog and Retrogression Issues.  Along with her fellow panelists, she will address how employee beneficiaries are frozen in time between here and abroad by the immigration quota system and explore how to develop long-term plans/advise clients regarding issues arising in the seemingly endless path to permanent residence.
