Who is an Immigrant?
An immigrant is a foreign national who has been granted the privilege
of living
and working permanently in the United States. You must go
through a multi-step
process to become an immigrant. In most cases,
USCIS must first approve an
immigrant petition for you, usually filed
by an employer or relative. Then, an
immigrant visa number must be available
to you, even if you are already in the
United States. After that, if
you are already in the United States, you may apply
to adjust to permanent
resident status (If you are outside the United States, you
will be notified
to go to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing for
an
immigrant visa.)
What Law governs Immigration?
The Immigration and Nationality Act is a law that governs immigration
in the
United States. For the part of the law concerning most types

status, please call us.
