- Avoid common--and serious--mistakes.
- Prepare for meetings with officials.

Review Quotes
"An excellent resource for people who are trying to wind their way through the immigration service's Byzantine rules and regulations...." Mark Silverman, Immigrant Legal Resource Center Author comments: The first time I helped a couple prepare a marriage-based green card application was both daunting and embarrassing. All those official forms, with strange-sounding names, and important choices to be made about where and how to apply! The clients were looking at me with worry. Their case went fine in the end, but I frankly wish I'd had this book then. My goal in writing it was to demystify the process, and give readers an actual look at what paperwork they'll be preparing and what to expect back from the U.S. government. I don't intend for it to replace lawyers in all cases--particularly if you've entered the U.S. unlawfully, have a criminal record, a low income, or other complications--but reading it will give you a better idea of whether you need an attorney and how to proceed if you can't afford or don't wish to hire one.
