Immigration Law

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.

Many people are able to come legally to the United States, or to adjust their immigration status through a family-based or employment-based petition. There are also visas available for investors, artists, religious workers, and many others. That means many people who are eligible to get their permanent residency or green card have not yet applied. You may be entitled to get a green card. It is important to consult with an immigration attorney to help you get all the immigration benefits you may be eligible for.

Rights afforded under the Immigration and Nationality Act are varied and complicated. You need an immigration attorney to guide you. If you want to get a visa to work in the United States on a temporary or a permanent basis, you need to make sure that a knowledgeable professional is there to help you.
