Immigration Laws as the name suggests govern the lawful entry of persons to the U.S. In other words these laws take control the legal status of the people in terms of citizenship, obtainingpermanent residence, etc. Each country has its own laws and regulations which in turn is regulated by the international law. INS plays a major role to keep up it’s mission following the laws and thereby administering the immigration system fairly and correctly.

The progress of Immigration lawshas not been standard through out. INS was created after theImmigration and the Nationality Act came into action. Initially there were five major federal departments involved in theimmigration process, out of which Department of Home Land Security was replaced by INS.

There was a time when persons who wanted to migrate to U.S. had to undergo so many procedures and they were not directed in the right path. The opinion that a common man had about immigrationis, I don’t get one bit of this law into my mind, but after INS taking charge of the whole show the opinion now is ‘I get an answers to anything under the earth regarding the immigration’. This prove how the INS plays a major role in guiding and helping a layman regarding the process and procedures of immigration.

Immigrant visa, in case he wants to stay permanently in the U.S. like the K1 Visa, etc. Or Non Immigrant Visa for a short stay in U.S. like the B1 Visa, H2B, etc.The immigrationINS helps customers by providing all the requirements and guides through out the whole process. The INS also ensure that there is an effective service and everyone who approaches them are treated with dignity, thereby producing worldclass results.
