Immigration Law

“Immigration" means moving to a foreign country to establish a new life and home. Immigration law provides the rules, regulations, and policies for this process.

The United States, historically built by immigrants, offers several paths to migrate. The most common forms are Lawful Permanent Residency (LPR), often called a "green card," and an immigrant visa.

Immigration Policies & Pathways

Immigration policy considers several aspects when granting immigration status. These include family-based reunification, in-demand work skills, and capital investments. Unmarried children and immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are also accounted for. Also, there is a unique "lottery" system in immigration law.

 

The U.S. visa program also protects refugees and asylees. Refugees and asylees are those who cannot return to their home countries because of fear of persecution or due to civil unrest.
