Immigration Law Overview

Immigration laws regulate who can enter the country and how long they can stay, in addition to determining what legal rights and responsibilities noncitizens have while they're here. The power to regulate immigration lies almost entirely with the federal government, and immigration laws are continually changing along with the political climate.  Immigration attorneys can help you sort through these complex laws and apply to enter the country as a tourist, worker, student, or potential citizen. They can also help if you are in the country already, legally or illegally, and have been threatened with deportation.
