Immigration
Immigration law refers to the complex body of legislation that defines citizenship, dictates who is considered to be a “foreign citizen,” and outlines the process for “naturalization,” i.e. gaining citizenship, if and when possible. While immigration laws vary from country to country, they typically also change with the modern political climate.
Issues commonly governed by immigration law include (but aren’t limited to):
- Adjustment of Status (the process of securing a greencard without having to leave the U.S.)
- Asylum (the process of trying to obtain U.S. residency in an effort to avoid persecution in their home country)
- Deportation (the expulsion of an individual from the country based on, for example, criminal acts the individual has committed)
- Employment, Family, Marriage, and/or Student Visas (legal paperwork that authorizes a person to enter the U.S. for a specific reason, such as to work, marry, study, etc.)
- Naturalization (the process of attaining U.S. citizenship)
