Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between state and federal immigration law in Nevada?
Immigration law is primarily governed by federal law under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Nevada law, such as NRS 10.155 (defining legal residence) and NRS 228.208 (model immigration enforcement policies), can affect how immigration issues intersect with state matters — for example, residency or detention procedures — but it does not create or change immigration status.
How can someone apply for a U.S. green card?
Most people apply for lawful permanent residence (a green card) through family, employment, or humanitarian programs such as asylum or refugee protection. The process typically involves filing a petition (Form I-130, I-140, or I-360), followed by Form I-485 for adjustment of status if eligible in the United States. All applications are handled federally through USCIS. Processing times vary by category and service center.

What rights do immigrants have in Nevada?
All individuals in Nevada — regardless of immigration status — are protected by due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution and the Nevada Constitution. Under NRS 211.007, people in custody must be informed of the reason for any questioning about immigration status. Nevada’s Attorney General has also published model policies limiting immigration enforcement in certain public institutions.
(Reference: Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 10.155, 211.007, 228.208)
How does the deportation (removal) process work?
Deportation, legally known as removal, is conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and reviewed by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), part of the Department of Justice. Individuals receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) and have the right to present their case before an immigration judge. Common defenses include asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status, depending on eligibility.
