Understanding U.S. Immigration Policy with World Immigration Hub
At World Immigration Hub, we think that refugees who know a lot about the process are able to make better applications and adjust to their new lives more easily. That's why we offer both consulting services and training materials to help people and families learn about the U.S. immigration system. We help our customers understand the laws, rules, and possibilities that affect their trip to the United States based on our work history and the tools we have at eimmigrationhub.com.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is what makes U.S. immigration law. This law lays out the rules for people who want to move to the United States or come here temporarily. The INA lets the government give up to 675,000 permanent immigrant visas each year. These visas can be in any of several different groups.
The INA doesn't limit the number of partners, parents, or children under 21 that a U.S. citizen can have, which is why family reunification is such an important part of U.S. immigration. Also, the U.S. president talks to Congress each year to set a limit on the number of refugees who can come to the country. On the other hand, humanitarian rights like asylum and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) don't have limits, but there are rules about who can get them.
World Immigration Hub's experts help people understand these categories, find the best path, and make sure their immigrant visa, refugee protection, or humanitarian relief applications are as strong as possible.
From an immigrant visa to the status of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR)
When a person gets an immigrant visa or certain humanitarian rights, like asylum or refugee status, they can then apply to be a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). When immigrants come to the U.S. on an immigrant visa, they are automatically given LPR status when they arrive.
Lawful permanent residents (LPRs) can apply for U.S. citizenship after living in the country for five years. In some cases, like if they are married to a U.S. citizen, they can apply after living in the country for three years. Even though getting citizenship is not required, LPRs can stay in the U.S. forever and get most jobs.
At World Immigration Hub, we help our customers with every step of the immigration process, from filing for an immigrant visa to getting permanent residency to becoming U.S. citizens through naturalization.
Immigration Based on Family
Keeping families together is one of the most important parts of U.S. immigration strategy. The system gives as many visas as needed each year to the close family of U.S. citizens, including
Wedded partners
Kids younger than 21
Parents of U.S. nationals who are at least 21 years old
For other family members, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets up the family preference scheme, which has the following:
Adult kids of U.S. nationals who are married or not married
Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (if the person asking is 21 or older)
Lawful Permanent Residents' spouses and kids
While the total number of annual family preference visas must not exceed 480,000, the minimum threshold is 226,000 visas per year. In fact, this is the number of visas issued each year.
World Immigration Hub's advisers make sure that every family sponsorship case is properly prepared by helping with income requirements, eligibility assessments, affidavits of support, and petitions.
Immigration for the purpose of getting a job
The U.S. immigration system has both short-term and long-term work permits for skilled experts and workers.
The different types of temporary visas are H-1B for specialty workers, O-1 for people with extraordinary ability, L-1 for people who work for more than one company, and P for sports and entertainers.
There is a limit of 140,000 permanent employment-based visas each year, split into five preference groups.
Navigging company sponsorship, labor market testing, and USCIS petitions can be hard to do. This is why World Immigration Hub offers full-cycle support: they connect clients with U.S. companies and make sure that the paperwork is done correctly so that approvals are more likely to happen.
People who are Asylees and Refugees
The United States also accepts people who come to this country to escape persecution because of their race, religion, political views, nationality, or position in a social group.
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program allows refugees to apply from other countries, but the president sets a limit on the number of applications that can be approved each year. The maximum number of entries for FY 2024 was 125,000.
People who are already in the U.S. or at a port of entry can seek asylum, and there is no cap on the number of people who can do so each year.
After one year, people who come to the US as refugees or to seek asylum can ask for LPR status.
Humanitarian immigration experts at World Immigration Hub help with asylum applications, refugee funding, and country-specific parole programs like Uniting for Ukraine.
Diversity Visa Program
The Diversity Visa Lottery was set up by the Immigration Act of 1990. It gives 55,000 cards each year to immigrants from countries that have not sent many people to the U.S. in the past. People who want to get in must meet strict eligibility standards, such as having the right education and work experience.
World Immigration Hub's experts help people who win the DV lottery with their applications and legal matters so they can get permanent residency through this one-of-a-kind program.
Other Humanitarian Safety Measures
The U.S. also offers a number of short-term help choices for people who are in unsafe situations:
Temporary Status for Protected People (TPS)
Deferred Enforced Departure (DED)
DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)
Humanitarian Programs for Parole
These positions might not give you a green card, but they can let you be in the country legally, work, and keep you safe. World Immigration Hub gives advice on who they can help with long-term plans for getting more stable immigration status.
Becoming a citizen of the United States
To become a U.S. citizen through naturalization, one must:
5 years as a permanent resident (3 years in some cases)
"Good moral character" and living there continuously
Getting a passing grade on the English, civics, and history tests
Following all USCIS rules
Citizenship isn't required, but it does give you safety, the right to vote, and access to all the perks of living in the U.S.
At World Immigration Hub, we help people get ready for naturalization by coaching them for the interview and helping them study for the test.
