Immigration Law
Immigration law governs the policies and procedures for individuals entering and residing in a country, focusing on visas, residency, citizenship, and deportation. It addresses the requirements for obtaining temporary visas for work, study, or tourism, as well as permanent residency through green cards. Immigration law also covers the naturalization process for becoming a citizen, which involves residency requirements, language proficiency, and knowledge of the country’s history and government. Additionally, it deals with asylum and refugee status for individuals fleeing persecution and provides regulations for family-based immigration to reunite relatives.
