CV/resume
Hi there. I'm translating a CV for someone who is an expert in immigration law. The issue I have is with the difference between "inmigración" and "extranjería" in the legal context. Throughout the document, both are referred to. I wanted to know from you legal experts out there whether there is any difference between these terms that I can express neatly in English for a CV to be used on a European or international level.
Here are a couple examples of how the terms come up in this CV:
Jurista experta en inmigración y extranjería
Asesoramiento técnico y jurídico en materia de inmigración y extranjería
There are also many references to the Ley de Extranjería.
Thanks in advance for your advice - much appreciated.

: "nationalisation" is about public ownership of businsess, not nationality law

Spanish term (edited):
inmigración y extranjería
immigration
In my opinion, one of the terms is redundant in English. You can have one or the other, but not both. They work nicely in the Spanish, but not so in English.
Looking up "extranjería" in the Oxford Spanish directs you to "ley de extranjería" (immigration law). There are many examples where "immigration" alone is used in English where "inmigración y extranjería" is used in Spanish. Here are a couple:
"La Dirección de Inmigración y Extranjería de la República de Cuba, ha dispuesto..." http://www.cubadiplomatica.cu/argentina/ServiciosConsulares....
"The Immigration Office of the Republic of Cuba has stipulated..." http://www.cubadiplomatica.cu/antiguaybarbuda/EN/ConsularSer...
There are also many sites out there that try to incorporate "extranjería" using "foreigners'" "aliens", etc., but to me they all sound clumsy and unneccessary.
Immigration alone is enough, I reckon.

John Cutler
: Most English speaking countries simply have an Immigration Office, Bureau, Department, etc. There's not usually any other term after that.

Hi Kate! I remember this discussion a while back, when I proposed this solution to avoid "aliens" which (incorrectly) strikes some people as offensive) while giving you the necessarily distinct categories.
Something went wrong...
