Immigration Attorney Jobs Immigration laws differ according to the countries, as well as according to the political scenario of the times. A set of rules and government policies controlling the phenomenon of immigration to any particular country is covered by immigration law. Immigration attorneys work in the area of immigration and nationality law. They provide information to people wanting to enter the country, with their families, as individuals, or for business purposes. Duties also involve dealing with diverse foreign groups ranging from business persons, professionals, executives, experts, researchers, doctors, and health care professionals, to those threatened with deportation because of visa overstays, illegal entrants, aliens with immigration or criminal violations. The attorneys help preparing immigrant and non-immigrant visas (H, L TN, O, J visas, adjustment of status, consular processing, advance parole, employment authorization documents, PERM). Represent aliens in detention and needs to make occasional prison visits. Handling court cases defending immigrants at various administrative, federal district, and appellate levels forms an important part of their duty. An immigration attorney may also work in other areas of immigration such as business, employment and asylum based immigration. Represent family reunification, deportation proceedings, business visas, citizenship and naturalization, refugee issues and alien advocacy law before the Immigration and Federal Courts. The attorney should have a JD degree with admission to the local state bar.
