United States (U.S.) immigration law is a highly complex, time-consuming and specialized area of legal practice. Important matters require serious lawyers.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), in conjunction with the United States Department of Homeland Security inter alia, represent the pertinent U.S. government agencies involved in U.S. immigration laws, procedures, rules and regulations. It is always best, although not always required, to be prepared well in advance and to consult with and/or retain a U.S. qualified attorney. The majority of United States immigration issues, matters and/or cases require strict adherence to documentation production requirements as well as applicable timeline and submission deadlines. US Immigration lawyers in Dubai and other global emerging markets are highly trained and skilled professionals able to guide and appropriately assist clients.
The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) is the body of law governing United States of America immigration policy and, generally speaking, provides for an annual worldwide limitation of 675,000 permanent immigrants (with certain exceptions for close family members and/or relatives). Broadly speaking, immigration to the United States of America is based upon a multiplicity of legal and circumstantial principles, including (but not strictly limited to): the re-unification of families, admitting (temporary or permanent) immigrants with exceptional educational backgrounds and skill sets that are valuable to the United States economy, protecting refugees and promoting and advancing the principle of diversity.
