2. Family Reunification

Family reunification in migration law refers to the legal process that allows family members separated by international borders to join each other in a new country. This typically applies to spouses, children, and sometimes other relatives of citizens or lawful residents. The goal is to keep families together, recognizing the emotional and social importance of family ties. Governments often have specific policies and criteria that must be met, such as proof of relationship and financial stability, to ensure that those seeking to reunite can do so safely and responsibly.
