Immigration Law

Immigration Law refers to the body of laws, regulations, and legal principles governing the entry, presence, and status of individuals in a country other than their country of citizenship. It encompasses the processes and legal frameworks that determine how people can move from one country to another, including obtaining visas, green cards, and citizenship, as well as the rights and responsibilities of immigrants. Immigration law addresses various aspects, such as asylum, refugee status, deportation, and the regulation of immigrant labor. This area of law also involves compliance with international treaties and agreements affecting migration. The enforcement of immigration law is typically handled by government agencies, which may include immigration courts and border enforcement authorities.
