Immigration law is the law that oversees immigration and naturalization issues. Immigration law is governed by the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act those which determines whom the government can allow in, and for how long, and who the federal government can deport. It also provides a means by which certain aliens can become naturalized citizens with full rights of citizenship.
The following are explanations of select subjects included in immigration law:
Green Cards
(Covered in immigration law)
There are several types of green cards, which allow people to come into the United States to live permanently, mostly for people sponsored by their companies, people who are related to someone in the United States, or for those seeking political asylum.
Political Asylum
(Covered in immigration law)
INS grants aliens political asylum in the United States based upon a well-founded fear of persecution in ones home country due to ones race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. The fact that one is suffering economically is not considered a reason for asylum. A person must request political asylum within one year of arriving in the United States, unless exceptional circumstances can be shown. The asylum officer or Immigration Judge will determine if the applicant's subjective fear of returning to his or her home country is supported by objective evidence and whether the applicant is credible. If political asylum is granted, the applicant is allowed to remain in the United States and eventually obtain permanent residence.
Deportation
(Covered in immigration law)
The formal removal of an alien from the United States when the alien has been found removable for violating the immigration laws. Deportation is ordered by an immigration judge without any punishment being imposed or contemplated. After April 1, 1997, aliens in and admitted to the United States may be subject to removal based on deportability.
