US Immigration

US Immigration refers to the process through which individuals from other countries establish permanent or temporary residence in the United States. This encompasses a variety of legal pathways, including family reunification, employment-based immigration, refugee and asylum status, and diversity visas. The US immigration system is governed by a complex set of laws and regulations administered by federal agencies, primarily the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State. The process can involve a range of steps, including application, interviews, background checks, and sometimes the need for legal assistance. Immigration policies and practices in the US have evolved significantly over time, influenced by political, economic, and social factors, impacting the ability of individuals to migrate to and reside in the United States.
