Attorneys practicing immigration law may handle various legal matters for aliens and U.S. citizens living both inside and outside of the country. The following sections introduce some of the issues for which a person may seek the assistance of an immigration lawyer. Basic Immigration LawsSince previously piecemeal immigration laws were consolidated by Congress in 1952, immigration law in the U.S. has continued to evolve. Changes in immigration law affect employers, visitors, students, business travelers and others seeking to live, work or travel to the U.S. Government Agencies and Their DutiesMore than one U.S. government agency is involved with implementing and enforcing U.S. immigration law and policy. Given the complexity of U.S. immigration law, it is important to understand which federal agencies handle which types of immigration matters. VisasThose wishing to relocate permanently to the U.S. and those desiring to visit the U.S. temporarily must apply and be approved for visas prior to traveling to and entering the country. There are many types of visas, and it is essential that the foreign national applies for the correct class of visa. RemovalRemoval occurs when the federal government formally either refuses admission to a foreigner at the U.S. border, or expels from the country a previously admitted alien for violation of certain U.S. immigration or other laws. Once deported, an alien may lose the right to return to the United States, even as a visitor.
