WOL-123: Immigration Law
Duration: self-paced
Credits: 3 Credits (126 Clock Hours)
Description
In this introductory-level course, you will gain both a theoretical and practical understanding of the basic elements of immigration law. We will begin with a review of immigration law and policy. Since most immigration law is policy-driven, the course will present an overview of the history and evolution of this area of the Federal law. We will then delve into the sources of both the Federal government's and the States' authority to establish immigration statutes.
The course then turns to the issues of immigration itself. We will look at the various categories of immigrants and non-immigrants, their statuses, and the priority with which the law treats their applications for entry. We will review the elements of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, as well as issues that have arisen as a result of the 9/11 terror attacks. Finally, we will explore the procedure required for admission into the United States and the procedures for deportation.
A major part of this 4-week immigration law course will concern the most common forms that are used in immigration practice. The forms themselves are available online and in the accompanying textbook.
