Immigration Officer
An Immigration Officer is a government official responsible for monitoring and controlling the entry and exit of individuals at borders and ports of entry. They ensure that travelers comply with immigration laws and regulations, verifying documents such as passports and visas. Their role is crucial in maintaining national security and managing the flow of people into a country.
In addition to checking documents, immigration officers may conduct interviews to assess the intentions of travelers. They also handle cases of individuals seeking asylum or residency, ensuring that all procedures are followed according to the law. Their work often involves collaboration with other agencies, such as Customs and Border Protection and law enforcement.
