U.S. immigration policy is governed largely by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The United States has long distinguished temporary immigration from permanent immigration. Temporary immigration occurs through the admission of visitors for specific purposes and limited periods of time. Permanent immigration occurs through family- and employer-sponsored categories, the diversity immigrant visa lottery, and refugee and asylee admissions. This book looks at key issues concerning visas.
