About this item

Immigration is often in the news, but few people understand who is actually able to apply for a U.S. green card. Many who do apply are denied. This book offers a helpful, step-by-step guide to discovering whether you match one of the green card categories available for people with no U.S. job offers, such as through family relationships, asylum, the visa lottery, and more. The book takes readers through the entire application process, with the help of handy checklists of required forms and documents, tips for avoiding mistakes and dealing with legal complications and bureaucratic holdups, and sample forms. This edition is completely revised to reflect the latest laws, contact information, and fees, plus critical new procedural information based on recent actions by the Trump Administration.
