Immagration Laws

 When someone applies for a passport, travels from his country of residence to another country, or seeks to enter another country for employment or school attendance, these actions are part and parcel of International Immigration law. This area of law is regulated by international law and is very closely associated with nationality law, which basically deals with a person’s legal status as a citizen. Immigration law is not uniform throughout the world, but the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has decreed that all countries must allow entry to its own citizens.U.S. Immigration law falls under the umbrella of the federal government and determines whether a person is an alien, as well as his legal rights, duties and obligations while in the U.S. An alien was defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA) as “any person who is not a citizen or a national of the United States.” U.S. Immigration law further oversees all the processes under which aliens my enter the U.S., gain residence, and/or become a naturalized citizen, wherein they obtain full citizenship rights. It includes a regulatory body which deals with who may enter the U.S., how long visitors may remain and when they must be evicted.

Im familiar with these laws because my parents came from England. They are not US citizens but are currently on a visa which allows residence here due to my dads job. I will be allowed to "sponsor" them when i turn 21 in 3 years. I myself am a US citizen because i was born here but due to natural born right i also have a UK citizenship.
