What kind of visa will you need to come to the United States? What kind of job will help you gain your INS green card? Can you get a temporary travel visa and apply for residency once you are in the United States?

These questions and others are important to answer before you immigrate to the United States. The U.S. immigration and naturalization laws are complex. The best way to answer these questions and many others like them is to consult one of the many U.S. immigration attorneys available.

Why Are The Laws So Complicated?

U.S. immigration and naturalization laws are complicated because the U.S. has a quota system on immigration. A quota is a defined number of immigrants which cannot be exceeded. Different countries have different quotas; for example, if you are from India, it may be harder to gain U.S. residency than if you are from Italy.

Another complexity of U.S. immigration and naturalization law is that getting a green card may depend on your job, education or family members. Any one of these factors may put you in a different category, a category which could streamline entry into the United States. A U.S. immigration lawyer will be able to help you decide which category is best for you.
