Immigration & Naturalization

In most cases, children born outside the U.S. are automatically granted American citizenship, as long as one of their parents is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth.

When you're a citizen of the United States, you're automatically granted several benefits.

If you're an immigrant living in the United States as an alien and are facing deportation, you may be eligible under the Immigration and Nationality Act to have the deportation proceedings against you dropped by changing your alien status to a permanent resident status.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, requires all employers to ensure that their employees are authorized to work in the United States.

Over the years, Congress has passed several laws giving amnesty, or legal forgiveness, to aliens who have managed to live and work in the United States illegally for a long period of time.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service grants a yearly minimum of 140,000 (one hundred and forty thousand) green cards to immigrants entering the United States on the basis of an employment opportunity.

If you want to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you can obtain that status in a variety of ways.

Permanent residence is a status held by a person after qualifying and being registered by Immigration and Naturalization Services.

Asylum benefits used to be limited to people from certain countries, but now it's available to refugees worldwide.

Students will not be approved for an F-1 or M-1 visa unless the students can prove that they can financially provide for themselves and their education without needing to work.

There are a number of visas which would come under the category of Temporary Employment and Investor Visas, or Visas for Personnel. The most common of these are the 'H', 'L', and 'E' visas.
