U. S. Immigration and Citizenship Q&A 2E

By Attorneys Richard E. Schell, Debbie M. Schell & Kurt A. Wagner

Description:

This book is an up-to-date introduction to immigration law that will help immigrants understand their rights and learn when to seek legal assistance. Beginning with an overview of the U.S. Immigration laws and Department of Homeland Security regulations as they relate to family-based petitions, the book then continues in a question-and-answer format regarding specific situations.

This new edition focuses on the specific changes that have been made in immigration procedures dealing with employment-based visas and work permits. These changes affect specific visas, available length of stays, requirements for issue of specific visas and companies that sponsor aliens in the U.S. as it relates to their business operations.

This entire book reflects immigration system and procedural changes, raising such questions as: Is it better to process a visa application in the U.S. or through a foreign consulate? Should I change my immigration status in order to apply for citizenship or should I apply through the naturalization process? This book contains these kinds of questions and many more with clear answers and advice on the necessary forms to file, fees required and timelines that must be kept.
