The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is a not-for-profit national association of over 10,000 attorneys and law professors who practice and teach immigration law and represent tens of thousands of U.S. families who have applied for permanent residence for their spouses, children, and other close relatives to lawfully enter and reside in the United States.

AILA members also represent U.S. businesses and industries that sponsor highly skilled foreign workers who wish to legally enter and work in the United States in a temporary or permanent basis. In addition, AILA members also represent foreign students, entertainers, athletes, and asylum seekers, often on a pro bono basis.
