Immigration



Immigration law is the name given to the branch of law that covers US citizenship, loss of citizenship, and the admission and removal of aliens. Legal immigration involves immigrants such as persons seeking a permanent residence card or "green card," and non-immigrants, persons seeking temporary entry to the U.S. under a non-immigrant visa category. Immigration also encompasses asylum, naturalization, denaturalization, deportation, as well as immigration crimes, including illegal immigration, or aliens who enter the U.S. and obtain work illegally.

Deportation and Removal Process
The deportation and removal process is how non-citizens are expelled from the US It's a complicated multi-step process with only two possible outcomes: You're allowed to stay or you have to leave. If you're involved in a deportation proceeding, it's important that you know how the process works.
Political Asylum
Political asylum is available to people already in the United States who fear returning to their home country due to actual persecution or have a well-founded fear of actual persecution because of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.
Process for H-1B Visa
The process of obtaining an H-1B visa involves four distinct steps and takes a minimum of three months but may take as long as six months. The four steps involved in the process are: 1) wage determination, 2) labor condition application, 3) petition for H visa status, and 4) apply for visa.
K - 1 Fiance Visas
You must file a petition for a K-1 visa in the United States if you are an American citizen and you want to bring your foreign fiancé(e) to the US to get married. Both you and your fiancé(e) must be legally able and willing to conclude a valid marriage in the US.
