CMSM Post-Assembly 2025
Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor | July 24, 2025

Administrative changes to the immigration system have resulted in significant concerns for men’s religious communities, many of whom rely on religious worker visas and green cards for members to minister in the United States. Join the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) for a workshop examining the current immigration landscape for male religious. Their religious immigration team will look at the recent change in interpretation in religious immigration and the impact that change has on moving from an R1 to an EB-4 visa. They will also look at recommended best practices in religious immigration and discuss common problems them see and obstacles to avoid.
