Immigration Law governs the movement of people across borders, defining their rights, responsibilities, and legal status within a country. It regulates visas, residency, citizenship, deportation, and asylum policies.

Key aspects of Immigration Law:

  1. Visas & Work Permits – Determines eligibility for travel, work, and study in a foreign country.

  2. Citizenship & Naturalization – Establishes the process for becoming a legal citizen of a country.

  3. Deportation & Removal – Addresses cases where non-citizens violate laws or overstay their visas.

  4. Asylum & Refugee Protection – Provides legal pathways for individuals fleeing persecution or danger.

  5. Family & Business Immigration – Regulates family reunification and work-based immigration programs.

Immigration laws vary across countries and are influenced by political, economic, and humanitarian factors.
