"It is no secret that the U.S. immigration system is an enormous bureaucracy and difficult for ordinary people to navigate. Yet it is vital for millions of people to understand it before starting an application for a green card. Making a mistake can ruin any chances for a successful application -- and can even leave desperate men and women to fall victim to scam artists. Now in a fully updated twelfth edition, "How to Get a Green Card" provides everything necessary to know about qualifying for permanent U.S. residence -- especially if the aspiring applicant doesn't have an employer-sponsor. "How to Get a Green Card" fully covers how to work with U.S. officials and prepare and present the right documents at the right time to get a green card for parents, siblings, a spouse or fiance. It also covers such issues as: green card lotteries; political asylum or refugee status; U visas; Deferred action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA); and all other categories. This newly revised twelfth edition of "How to Get a Green Card" covers the expanded provisional waiver of unlawful presence, which helps people unlawfully in the U.S. make sure they can travel for their visa interview without being barred from returning. Enhanced with the inclusion of new sample forms, updated poverty guidelines, and more, "How to Get a Green Card" is an indispensable reference for anyone seeking a Green Card, and should be a part of every immigration NGO, community, college, and university library instructional reference collection."
