Q: What exactly is immigration law?

A: Immigration and nationality law concerns the movement of people across international boundaries into the United States. This practice focuses on giving people the ability to live, work and be active in the United States either on a temporary or permanent basis.

Q:. What does migration strategy entail and who needs this type of plan or "roadmap"?

A: Both individuals and businesses need migration strategies depending on what their primary objectives are. For example, an individual might need a strategy on his/her behalf or may have been moved by a business to fulfill the needs of the business. The migration strategy is the plan of action within legal parameters that will satisfy the demands of the client. The basis for immigration law is 1) to re-unify families and 2) to protect jobs for American workers.

Q: Why is immigration and related issues becoming increasingly important for individuals and companies?

A: On a very basic level, companies have labor needs and people need jobs. Immigration provides individuals with a path to help them accomplish their goals. It also provides local and international businesses with a way to find qualified people (workers) and move them into position. (e.g. an international firm may need scientists or researchers with highly specialized knowledge/expertise).
