About this item
U.S. immigration law is a tangle of details. This book explains the most likely bases upon which an everyday person might qualify for a green card family, marriage, asylum, the visa lottery, and a few lesser-known categories. Then, the book leads readers safely through the enormous immigration bureaucracy, with step-by-step application instructions, checklists with required forms and documents, tips for avoiding mistakes and dealing with legal complications, and sample forms. This edition is completely revised to reflect the latest laws, including new rights to a green card for same-sex married couples, agency contact information, and fees, plus critical new procedural information, particularly concerning the new provisional waiver for unlawful presence.
