Nationality and Immigration Act

The Nationality and Immigration Act is a law that governs who can become a U.S. citizen and how foreigners can enter and stay in the United States. It outlines the processes for applying for visas, residency, or citizenship, and sets rules for lawful immigration. The law aims to manage immigration fairly while protecting national security. It also establishes categories of immigration and procedures for enforcement. Overall, it balances welcoming newcomers with maintaining control over who is allowed to live and work in the country.
