The United States remains a Nation of Immigrants. American immigration laws continue to welcome those who seek a better life or who flee persecution and oppression. Yet these laws are increasingly complicated and often administered harshly. This book describes the various ways to obtain a green card-through family, professional skills, jobs, religious occupations, investments and asylum-with practical insights and advice. The author discusses how to obtain U.S. citizenship and how to secure reliable immigration advice. Not a book of forms or a list of government addresses but a one on one meeting with experienced counsel providing practical advice.
