What the hell is an immigration supervisor?

"immigration supervision" is just a vivid metaphor, which means that if you want to immigrate, you can't leave the country of immigration for a long time (short-term) just like prison. If you leave for a long time, you can't apply for naturalization or lose your immigration status. It can be seen that the "immigration supervisor" was given the name of this image only because it restricted the freedom of immigrants within a certain range.

first of all, what is the specific meaning of "immigration supervision"?

one refers to the time you have to live in an immigrant country in order to retain your immigration status; The other refers to the time that you have to live in an immigrant country in order to become a citizen of that country.
