Millions of people immigrate to the United States each year, from all over the world. In 2004, over 18 million people arrived in the US, and that number grows each year. As a result, Immigration Law in the United States, which is controlled by the Immigration and Nationality Act, has grown into a daunting body of law. It is not for the faint of heart, but with some perseverance and a lot of patience, you will learn to navigate the system, as millions of others before you. And take some comfort in that fact that by choosing to enter the US through New York City, you will be surrounded by people who, at one time or another, were also from someplace else.
