IMMIGRATION

More than any other nation on Earth, America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants.  In each generation, they have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most industrious of people.  Bearing different memories, honoring different heritages, they have strengthened our economy, enriched our culture, renewed our promise of freedom and opportunity for all . . . . – Bill Clinton

Immigration is defined as the act of entering a country with the intention of permanently living and/or working there.  In the U.S., immigration laws apply to entry into the country for almost any purpose, including temporary stays that extend beyond a certain length of time.

The U.S. immigration system is structured to allow immigration status based on criteria such as capital investment, family reunification, protection from persecution and in-demand work skills.  It also provides for a “lottery” for immigration status to people who do not fall within one of the other criteria.  Eligibility for legal immigrant status in the U.S. depends on numerous factors that are specific to your situation, such as your employment, education, and family situation.

Federal immigration laws cover not only how you can legally gain immigrant status, but also the rights and duties of foreign nationals in the U. S. and the criteria for whether or not an alien can be deported.

The U.S. Immigration laws are very complex and not very forgiving.  Mistakes, omissions or missed deadlines can significantly impact your ability to obtain the status you desire.
