Immigration

Areas of Law

Practicing immigration law in California involves understanding and applying federal immigration laws and regulations, as well as state laws and regulations that may affect immigrants and immigration-related matters. This can include representing immigrants in various types of immigration cases, such as family-based visas, employment-based visas, asylum and refugee cases, removal proceedings, and naturalization applications. It can also involve advising immigrants on a wide range of issues, such as how to obtain visas or green cards, how to comply with immigration laws, and how to navigate the immigration system in general.

To practice immigration law in California, an attorney must be licensed to practice law in the state and must also be a member in good standing of the California State Bar. Attorneys who wish to specialize in immigration law may choose to become members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and may also seek additional training and certification through programs such as the AILA’s accredited certification program.

Immigration law is a complex and constantly evolving area of the law, so it is important for attorneys practicing immigration law in California to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and changes in the law. This may involve participating in continuing legal education courses, attending conferences and seminars, and staying abreast of changes in federal and state immigration laws and policies.
