Immigration Law Overview

Immigration Law refers to national government policies controlling the immigration and deportation of people, and other matters such as citizenship. Immigration laws vary from country to country, as well as according to the political climate of the times, as sentiments may sway from the widely inclusive to the deeply exclusive of new immigrants.

Immigration Law regarding the citizens of a country is regulated by international law. The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mandates that all countries allow entry to its own citizens.

Certain countries may maintain rather strict laws which regulate both the right of entry and internal rights, such as the duration of stay and the right to participate in government. Most countries have laws which designate a process for naturalization, by which foreigners may become citizens.

In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security, which replaced the Immigration and Naturalization Service, enforces immigration laws. The United States allows more than 1 million undocumented immigrants to become Legal Permanent Residents every year. The United States also issues more visas than any other county in the world.

United States Visas

Visas in the United States can be broadly separated into two categories: Immigrant Visas, and Non-Immigrant Visas. The former is subject to “per country caps”, whereas the latter is not. Most Non-Immigrant Visas are for work purposes, and usually require an offer of employment from a U.S. employer.

Such immigration may involve restrictions such as a Labor Certification to ensure that no American workers are able to fill the role for the job. Other categories include Student, Family, and Tourist Visas. Each visa category is further divided into numerous subcategories.
