4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, but short on specifics for me, April 5, 2000

This review is from: The Immigration Handbook (Paperback)

This is a good introduction to the topic of immigration to the United States, but it didn't provide enough depth for me. I think this is a limitation of the subject matter, more than just this book. Immigration issues are so broad-ranging that it would be impossible to cover them all in a short book. Specifically I was looking for details on TN visas; they're covered, but not enough for me. This would be a good book to use as a jumping-off point to find further information.

5.0 out of 5 stars That is a very good book., August 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Immigration Handbook (Paperback)

I am currently researching ways to get a work permit in the U.S.A. There is a lot of "common wisdom" around about the subject, but no one seems to know the precise facts. You need this book to know about this. Don't let the low price put you off, it's complete and - as far as I can tell - the author is a real expert on the subject.

This review is from: The Immigration Handbook (Paperback)

This book is a good overview of all USA visas available to the prospective immigrant. Doesn't bog the reader down with too much detail, but it is good for a first look at how a person might be able to live and work in the USA. Also has some useful case studies to clarify certain points and allows reader to make a good comparison between routes into the US.
