Reviews"Provides a nuts-and-bolts guide on obtaining a green card to work and live in the United States..." Orange County Register "Green card seekers: Look no further ... Asian Week. "A definitive book that is also easy to read." Fort Worth Star Telegram "Highly recommended." Library Journal "Now in an updated 13th edition, How to Get a Green Card a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to determining whether one is eligible for permanent residence in the United States, and successfully applying for a "green card" document that grants that permission. Chapters offer in- depth assistance for filling out application forms, including plenty of sample forms. Since American law is constantly changing, How to Get a Green Card comes with free legal updates on immigration rules, accessible via the publisher's Nolo.com website. "Nonattorney practitioners, visa consults, [etc.] litter the immigration marketplace... be wary - especially if they promise you a green card without any hassle for a certain amount of money. Aside from the fact that it is unlawful to practice immigration law without being admitted by a state bar association, there is no way you can check on these individuals' expertise, and nowhere to complain if their services are poor." An index rounds out this absolute "must-have" for anyone considering earning their own green card." The Midwest Book Review Author comments: While practicing immigration law, I helped hundreds of people obtain immigrant visas and green cards. Like other attorneys, I couldn't believe how complex both the laws and the bureaucratic procedures were. There are simply too many ways for green-card applicants to make mistakes, and U.S. immigration officials sometimes further complicate matters by making mistakes of their own! Having switched from active law practice to writing, I am committed, with the help of a team of updaters, to making sure the average person, who lacks an employee sponsor, can understand the most likely ways to gain U.S. residence--as well as when and why it might be worth consulting with or hiring an attorney for assistance. This book has been popular with readers for many years, and we make sure that every edition is completely reviewed, updated, and improved.
