How the U.S. Immigration System Works

About this presentation:

Military service members across the country and abroad must navigate the U.S. immigration system for their own path to citizenship or for the immigration of their close family members. Our panel of experts will discuss immigration law terminology, government agencies and their roles in immigration cases, and the most common immigration issues faced by service members and their dependents.
• Terminology used in family-based immigration
• Immediate relatives vs. preference categories: who can come and when?
• Government agencies and their roles: USCIS, DOS (NVC, embassies, consulates), ICE
• Common service member immigration case requests
