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.
