What is an immigration lawyer?
Immigration law governs who may enter, work, and stay in the United States — including visas, green cards, citizenship, and deportation defense. An immigration lawyer prepares and files applications, represents you before immigration agencies and courts, and helps you and your family navigate a complex, high-stakes system.
