Immigration and Nationality Law Overview


The Immigration and Nationality Law Committee is concerned with all aspects of immigration and nationality law on a worldwide basis, including business-related immigration, family reunion policies, refugees and compassionate cases.

The committee aims to provide a forum for the discussion of comparative data on immigration and nationality policies of countries worldwide.

The Mission and focus of the committee is to provide a platform for lawyers practising immigration laws to receive input and update about the immigration laws of their country and also immigration laws and procedures of other jurisdictions. We achieve this by holding annual conferences and presentation of papers, newsletters and providing other online resources to enhance the knowledge of its member in multiple jurisdictions.

Additionally, the Immigration and Nationality Law Committee works with the following committees to form the Human Resources Section:
