U.S Immigration and Visas - The Real Story

This book is on the subject of immigration to the USA, including the various types of visa and discussing in depth their eligibility criteria and pros and cons as well as a general overview of the application process. It also deals with obtaining a green card and taking U.S. citizenship. A chapter is devoted to what is wrong with the U.S. immigration system, its shortcomings and inadequacies, highlighting any problems which you may have in navigating through the system. Other sections deal with the process of moving to live in the USA, including a discussion of the pros and cons of living in the country, moving to the U.S with children and the practical problems you may encounter during your first few weeks in the country.

The authors are British citizens with backgrounds in law and computer programming who have extensive experience of the U.S, having bought their first home in Florida in 1997 and having moved out to live in the States in 2003. They have run four separate businesses in the U.S. on two different visas ( E-2 and L-1) and have also put a child through school and eventually college on an F-1 student visa. They have also lived in France and Portugal. They have written a book which attempts to explain the process of immigration to the U.S. in simpler more layman's terms than many books written on the subject and to give their personal experiences as well as explaining the law. They hope to have written a book which is both realistic and informative not only about immigration but about the whole process of moving to live in the U.S.
