Immigration

Immigration law is the branch of law that governs the movement of people across national borders. It encompasses the legal rules and procedures governing the entry, stay, and exit of individuals in and out of a country. Immigration law also involves regulations that determine the eligibility and conditions for obtaining visas, residency, and citizenship, as well as the process of applying for asylum or refugee status. Immigration law is complex and constantly evolving, and it requires a thorough understanding of both federal and state regulations. It has significant implications for individuals and families seeking to live and work in a new country, and for businesses seeking to hire foreign workers.
