Immigration law is a complex area, due to the fact that the immigration laws themselves are extremely intricate and undergo changes on a daily basis. There is a continuous flow of federal court and administrative agency decisions that impact daily practice including those issued by the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA), Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), Chief Administration Hearing Officer (OCAHO), and Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR). In addition, regulations are promulgated daily, emanating from various governmental agencies including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of State (State), Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Information Agency (USIA) and Public Health Service (PHS). Finally, in-depth knowledge of the nuances of local practice, for example, differences in processing times and procedures between States must be drawn upon in order to render proper advice, make appropriate filings and take necessary action to achieve an employer?s immigration related goals.
