American Immigration Lawyers Assn

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is an immigrant advocacy group, and is the United States' immigration bar association. AILA is a non-profit organization that consists of lawyers and law professors that are dedicated to the practice and teaching of immigration law. Its advocates represent U.S. families who are attempting to get U.S. permanent resident status for family members overseas and also represent businesses that have sponsored highly-skilled workers overseas who are attempting to enter the United States on a temporary or permanent basis. AILA was founded in 1946, and as of 2010, consists of over 11500 lawyers. In 1985, there were 1,800 members; a three-fold increase from 1975. The president of AILA as of July 1, 2010 is David Leopold, an immigration lawyer based in Cleveland, Ohio.
