In the past two years, sweeping changes in US immigration regulations have affected nearly every visa category, both temporary and permanent, and the number of people entitled to immigrate to the United States has increased by 30 percent. This new edition meets the need for accurate, easy-to-follow guidance through the immigration process, presenting information on all employment categories and types of visas. Instructions for employers; a question-and-answer chapter; sample forms, addresses, and telephone numbers of Immigration and Labor Department offices; and a directory of immigration lawyers is included.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

There have been profound changes in the immigration laws and regulations since President Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990. This book, now in its revised fourth edition, reports on the changes with particular emphasis on visa categories. The authors, immigration lawyers, begin with a series of definitions and follow with information on obtaining the most common temporary and permanent visas. There are sample forms, a directory of immigration lawyers, and a list of INS regional offices. There is also good coverage of the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Immigration procedures are complicated, and Kimmel and Lubiner provide clear and methodical explanations. A necessary purchase for most public libraries.?Joan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester, NY

1.0 out of 5 stars barely a good start, October 6, 2002

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Immigration Made Simple: An Easy to Read Guide to the U.S. Immigration Process (Immigration Made Simple, 5th ed) (Paperback)

I purchased this book to assist me with an immigration law class that I am auditing in a law school. I am a practicing attorney, but have not done any immigration law. This book is only 180 pages long and starting on page 81 is a list of immigration attorneys that goes on for 10 pages. This list is followed by "sample" immigration forms... So, all you are really getting here is 80 pages of text on a very complicated subject. This is the Reader's Digest of immigration books...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiance info on page 21, September 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Immigration Made Simple: An Easy to Read Guide to the U.S. Immigration Process (Immigration Made Simple, 5th ed) (Paperback)

This book sure does contain info on bringing fiances to the US-see page 21 and 22 for a complete description and list of forms. It also contains info on every other type of temporary and permanent visa, the annual lottery, NAFTA, adopting foreign born orphans, the INSPASS system, green card renewals, US Citizenship, important addresses and a list of immigration lawyers, etc. No other book on the subject covers so much material in such a straightforward way. I've read them all!

This review is from: Immigration Made Simple: An Easy to Read Guide to the U.S. Immigration Process (Immigration Made Simple, 5th ed) (Paperback)

I bought this book wanting to learn how to bring my finace to the US. There is absoultely no mention of this in the book. On the back cover they state "Here is everything you need to know to introduce you to U.S. immigration rules and regulations." Unture.

I will be returning the book. Thank you Amazon for your return policy!
