What Is Immigration Law?

Immigration law refers to all the established regulations issued by the federal government which have the goal of determining who is allowed to enter the US, for how long, and what they are allowed to practice within its borders.

Usually, people will obtain permission to come to the United States for various reasons through a visa application process. Some visas only allow individuals to enter the country for a specific number of days, and prevent them from seeking employment or even applying for permanent status. These are known as non-immigrant visas.

Immigrant visas, on the other hand, are genuinely used for people who seek out some form of permanent residency in the US. They want to live here and generally build on the American Dream.

Why You Might Need An Immigration Lawyer

Immigration laws are difficult to navigate, especially for individuals dealing with the pressures of potential deportation. Even without the pressures of deportation, working with a skilled Houston immigration attorney could protect U.S. immigrants from the frustration and time-consuming tasks associated with seeking permanent residency or citizenship.

From the outset of a case, a Houston immigration attorney should assist clients with identifying which type of visa or green card an individual or family qualifies for. What is right for one individual may not be appropriate for another. At Ikeme Law, we work with clients to determine the best course of action for their case.

There are also many cases where applying for a visa or green card is not necessarily a straightforward process, especially if the individual has made a mistake in their approach. For instance, the individual may have entered the country and gotten married on a tourist visa, not knowing of the K-1 fiance visa that allows entry specifically for this purpose. This could affect an adjustment of status application.
