Press Release Summary: The usual definition of an alien as stated under federal immigration law is a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States. The various categories are resident/nonresident, immigrant/nonimmigrant, documented/undocumented (illegal). According to Rifkin & Fox-Isicoff, P.A. in Miami, Florida, these categories are open to many interpretations, and it\'s best to work with an attorney familiar with immigration law to apply for the correct category.
Press Release Body: The laws governing aliens also cover their legal rights, duties and obligations while in the United States. Immigration isn\'t the only area that covers aliens. The other is naturalization, which is another area fraught with the possiblities of running afoul of the jungle of red tape required to meet all the requirements.
Immigration laws basically govern who may enter the United States, how long they may stay there and when they must depart the country. The pertinent federal government act concerning immigration and naturalization is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which has remained largely unchanged since then, undergoing only minor adjustments
One amendment in 1965 is of particular interest. It wiped out the original natural origins provisions and ushered in the the much-debated quota system. Since the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 is a federal law, each state only has limited legislative authority in this area, and in cases of illegal entry, federal sentencing guidelines must be followed. Only Congress itself actually has complete control over immigration, and even the President may only deal with refugee policy. What\'s interesting is that courts tend to tread very carefully in this area, unless there are issues dealing with the aliens\' rights to what are viewed as constitutional protections. The field of immigration and nationality law changed somewhat in 1986 with the introduction of a new act called the Immigration Reform and Control Act. This legislation was designed to crack down on people and companies who hired illegal aliens, denied them federal welfare benefits or legitimized them through an amnesty program. Another piece of \"plug the loophole\" legislation was an amendment in 1986 called the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendment that banned marrying to get US citizenship. Although the laws currently in place in this area work fairly well, they are subject to many different interpretations.
Rifkin & Fox-Isicoff, P.A., in practice since 1985, is well acquainted with the nuances of immigration and naturalization law. They specialize all aspects of immigration and nationality law including nonimmigrant visas, immigrant visas, labor certificates, exclusion, deportation and naturalization. Immigration and naturalization law is far more complex than it appears, and Rifkin & Fox-Isicoff, P.A. can handle your enquiries.
