Summary: Immigration review
Review: Good book, but almost no help with the appeal process. Should tell you how to appeal, who to talk to to do it, do you need a lawyer etc? But almost nothing about that very important area. Also nothing on how to request a deportation hearing, and/or what to say/do when you are in it.

Summary: Too many examples, not enough content
Review: Help with one of the most complex issues many people have in dealing with our government is always needed. When that help comes from a well respected source in an easy to follow style it is a godsend. I can't even explain how many hours this book saved me.

Summary: Useful for Basic Information, but not Current with Fees
Review: I bought this book to obtain more information than what is generally available on the Internet. Though It covered all the basic information, the author has not bothered to keep it current. e.g. The current cost of an Naturalization is $225.00 + $25.00 for finger printing not $95.00 as stated in the form printed in the book. Which means that the forms printed in the book are out of date. Also information given about finger printing process is totally wrong.Overall I was very dissappointed with this book. Author has the potential to come up with a revised edition that not only carries current information but also has a section for all the fees and finger printing process.

Summary: Timely and Comprehensive
Review: I consider this to be the one invaluable book on this subject. Mr. Wernick clearly and concisely makes a very complicated process easy to understand.

Summary: Too many examples, not enough content
Review: I must say that I was quite disappointed with this book. I bought it because of the positive reviews given to it by other amazonites, but found it very lacking in content. The book features countless examples, but the content is superficial at best. Most of my detailed questions remained unanswered after browsing through the whole book (I read all the information relevant to my case in an afternoon!). The section on non-immigrant visas is especially week. The book didn't even mention how and when to file for an extension to the popular H1-B visa. If you are trying to immigrate into the United States, you are no doubt looking for the best and most pertinent you can find and afford. Do yourself a favor and look for the information you need elsewhere.

Summary: Concise, compete and up to date.
Review: Professor Wernick's latest edition of his popular guide to immigration updates what was already an easy access guide to immigration. All the latest forms are here with case histories and easy-to-understand instructions. This is the only immigration guide you will need.

Summary: Informative and easy to read
Review: This 2nd edition would appear to reflect INS rule and fee changes in the last couple of years. The book covers all facets of immigrating to the United States from the different categories of VISAs to Permanent Residence and Naturalization. It is somewhat like a condensed version of INS law written in plain English. For clarity, the author backs up every major point pertaining to a given aspect of immigration/naturalization procedures and rules with a real-life example. The less one knows about immigration/naturalization laws, the more helpful this book will be. Conversely, if one is familiar with INS procedures and is looking for specific information above and beyond the basics, chances are it won't be found here. However, the book contains a section listing many helpful websites covering immigration law and policy.

Summary: good, basic overview of immigration and naturalization law
Review: This book provides a good, solid overview of immigration law. It is not an overly-detailed guide that addresses every possible nuance of immigration law. Rather, it discusses the basics, the terminology, the myriad avenues through which which a foreigner can gain legal residence in the US. This book would be a good starting point for someone wishing to immigrate to the United States, for an alien residing in the US who wishes to become a US citizen, or for an employer seeking to bring immigrants into its work force. There are many anecdotal examples, which make the book easy to read. This book may not answer all of your questions within its pages, but it will give you enough background information so that you know how to ask the right targeted questions of the INS or an immigration lawyer.

Summary: Addendum to my Earlier Review
Review: Upon Further review and written clarification by the Author himself (I appreciate the letter from the Author) I found that the information for N-400 is correct on Page 130. Overall I think the Author has made a genuine effort to put together valuable information to be used by any person without a Lawyer's help.
