## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Immigration & Migration Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the category names below and nothing else. Do not rank them, do not recommend one, and do not write a client letter. |
| What the lawyer must review | The opened pages support only these names. H-1B is the specialty-occupation page. Form I-140 is the Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers. Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is described as the first step to help an eligible relative apply to immigrate, and the page says filing or approval does not itself give immigration status or a benefit. The asylum page covers a person physically present in the United States who is not a United States citizen and who seeks protection because of persecution or a fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. The students page says the F category is for academic students and the M category is for vocational students, and it lists F-2 and M-2 for spouses and children. The visitor page covers B-1 business, B-2 tourism, and a combination B-1/B-2, and it says a person on a visitor visa is not permitted to accept employment or work. The lawyer writes any pathway advice. No other category is added. |
