Synopsis

IMMIGRATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS is a comprehensive, user-friendly, and indispensable companion for anyone planning to live temporarily or permanently in the United States. With great sensitivity for the emotional state of mind of the prospective immigrant, Carl Baldwin carefully introduces his readers to the essential institutions, laws, and procedures of the U.S. immigration system and lays out the steps to successfully obtaining a visa, green card, or U.S. citizenship. Illustrated with real-life case examples from all walks of life, the book offers exhaustive advice on the latest in majors laws affecting both legal and illegal immigrants, including the LIFE Act of 2000, the revision of H1B visas, and work discrimination. Presenting these issues in a Q & A format and in everyday language, the book offers readers easy access to otherwise complex legal questions.

From the Inside Flap

"Using a question-and-answer format, this helpful book provides detailed information on many issues facing immigrants, e.g., obtaining a green card, avoiding employment discrimination, and applying for citizenship and political asylum. Written in clear, straightforward language for the general public." — Library Journal

"IMMIGRATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS is a model of lucidity and clear analysis which makes the often impenetrable law of immigration seem at least accessible. This book should prove an invaluable aid to practitioners who advise as well as those who seek such advice." — Mark R. von Sternberg, Senior Attorney, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc., Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New York
