Infos

For foreign-born spouses or fiancés of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, the process of applying for a visa or green card can be overwhelming. This book provides practical help. It shows them how to navigate the bureaucracy and deal with the masses of paperwork required to submit their application. In an era when the U.S. government is scrutinizing all immigration applications more closely, and moving more quickly to send applicants into deportation (removal) proceedings after denying their application, getting reliable, straightforward help upfront is more important than ever.
