IMMIGRATION LAW
Immigration law is the law that
exclusively governs immigration. Specifically, the Federal
Immigration and Nationality Act governs who the government can
allow in, and for how long, and who the federal government can
deport. Immigration law is comprised of a very complex web of
rules, regulations, and exceptions.
The Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) is the government agency that
handles immigration and nationality matters for foreign
nationals who come to the United States. They handle
applications and petitions for legal status, decide who can
enter and stay in the U.S., and enforce U.S. immigration laws.
There are a variety of ways to
get in the United States and stay in, and there are some popular
misconceptions about Immigration Law that should be dispelled.
