Nolo Press is the best, as usual,

This review is from: Student and Tourist Visas : How to Come to the U.S. (Paperback)
Nolo Press is the best, as usual. Nobody does self-help like Nolo. I purchased this book as a gift for a friend. He was able to get a visa within a year. I think that's a success, especially since the current climate in the US is not very friendly for immigration in general. This is a great resource, and very clearly written. Useful!
