Who would have thought that a book the the knotty problem of immigration could actually be fun! This book reads like a novel, and answers questions like a detective story. You can read it from front to back, enjoying the true life inquiries of people "on the edge" of becoming citizens. Or you can go right to the sections affecting you--either by using the detailed table of contents or the index. Since the format is question and answer, the content is never dull. And the multiple appendixes provide addresses, phone numbers, even web sites--along with definitions and the names of government and private organizations--to help keep you up to date on new developments. No jargon. No "legalese." Everything is readable, understandable, and authentic. This book will even tell you how to arrange for your Internet wife to come to the United States--or your brother by your parents who never married! Amazing.

As the International Coordinator for my department at a Technical University in Austria, the book was extremely helpful in answering "student visa" related questions for a study abroad semester in the USA. For many Austrian students this book has been a major step forward in trying to figure out the complexities of getting a US student visa. I would like to thank the authors for making my job a whole lot easier.

Actually, the book is surprising. All of the relevant facts regarding immigration and visa problems are covered! Especially for students who want to spend some months of their study time in the USA, the information is definitively helpful. Currently, I - personally - do not plan to immigrate; but if I will do so in the future, this book will be my first information source!

There is not much substance to this book. When it comes to legal issues, each one of them is very unique on its own that it is better to work with a legal advisor or research on your own. Most of the content can be found elsewhere for free and it doesn't cover anything deep. It is understandable because the nature of legal matters, you cannot really write a book that is aimed at mass-market.

Not much to this book and wish I had not purchased it. Basically, just a book of questions about various eligibility scenarios with a pithy two or three sentence response. Might be worth a read for the law student studying for a multiple choice exam. But the book has little value for a practicing attorney or someone who is looking for guidance through the U.S. immigration process. Save your money.

I found this immigration book easy to use both for reference and sometimes just to read because of the personal way it is written. Most helpful for me was the comprehensive listing of US visas with all the forms requirements laid out clearly. I also read the new Green Card lottery requirements with interest because they have just changed.
