Immigration Laws
Federal immigration law determines whether a person is an alien, and
associated legal rights, duties, and obligations of aliens in the
United States. It also provides means by which certain aliens can
become naturalized citizens with full rights of citizenship.
Immigration law serves as a gatekeeper for the nation's border: it
determines who may enter, how long they may stay and when they must
leave.
The United States has a long history of immigration laws. The
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA) with some major, and many
minor, changes continues to be the basic immigration law of the
country. The most significant ammendment to the INA was in 1965 which
abolished the natural origin provisions, and established a new quota
system.
Immigration lawyers provide services to those individuals who wish to
become citizens of the United States. For a person to become a citizen
there are certain regulations that need to be followed. Immigration
attorneys provide information to people wanting to enter the country,
with their families, as individuals, or for business purposes.
Immigration statutes are regulated by the federal government and
therefore immigration procedures can be done through the mail and so
therefore a person anywhere in the United States can retain the
services of an attorney located any place in the U.S.
Advice that U.S. immigration attorneys proved to individuals can be
concerning applying for work using a temporary visa, obtaining
permanent citizen status, and getting extensions on temporary
citizenship visas and any problems that occur as a result of filing for
a citizenship visa. These visas are essential to anyone from another
country seeking to spend time or to live in the United States.
Musicians, athletes, individuals starting businesses, and persons from
other countries who are planning on marrying a person from the United
States all need the services of U.S. immigration lawyers.
For commerce problems, immigration attorneys can aid in the resolution
of persons and companies experiencing difficulties, or just for
employee transfers from one country to another.
