Immigration Law
Immigration law is the body of federal law that
is contained with the Immigration and
Nationality Act ("INA"), and its related
regulations. The INA covers all aspects of
immigration, including obtaining a green card,
employment-related immigration, marriage to
foreign citizens, bringing foreign relatives to
the United States, asylum and refugee relief,
and the process by which an immigrant becomes a
U.S. citizen. Immigration laws and regulations
cover both immigrants (persons seeking a
permanent residence card or "green card") and
non-immigrants (persons seeking temporary entry
to the U.S. under a non-immigrant visa
category). Immigration also encompasses asylum,
naturalization and denaturalization,
deportation, as well as immigration crimes,
including illegal immigration, or aliens who
enter the U.S. and obtain work illegally.
The standard immigration laws are very complex
and difficult for a person to understand. An
immigration lawyer will explain in detail to
you all of the immigration information that
applies to your case.
Immigration Regulation
The five major departments of the federal
government involved in the immigration process
are the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Justice, the Department of State,
the Department of Labor, and the Department of
Health and Human Services. Of the five, the
Department of Homeland Security, which replaced
the Immigration and Naturalization Service,
enforces immigration laws and bestows benefits
on aliens. It is subdivided into three distinct
departments: US Citizenship and Immigration
Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
and Customs and Border Protection. With so many
government agencies involved, it is very
difficult to navigate the immigration and
naturalization process without legal assistance
from an immigration lawyer.
Immigration Lottery
Every year, the Federal government conducts a
Diversity Visa Lottery. The lottery grants
citizens of other countries legal entry into
the United States. However, only countries
"with low rates of immigration to the United
States" are allowed to apply. Presently there
are two different types of visas: one for
people seeking to live in the US; termed
Immigrant Visas, and the other for people
coming for limited durations, such as tourists
or on business trip, and those are termed Non
Immigrant Visas. The former visa has “per
country-caps” and the latter does
not.
The United States allows more than 1 million
aliens to become Legal Permanent Residents
every year, which is more than any other
country in the world, but it remains difficult
to obtain Legal Permanent Residence without
legal assistance.
