A must read

This is the best book on this subject available. I am a new citizen to this country, and it would have not happened so easily without this great book. Thank you, Mr. Wernick.

Don't need a lawyer after reading this book

I just read the 3rd edition of professor Wernick's "U.S. Immigration and Citizenship" book and never felt more confident filing papers with the INS. Moreover, in his currently updated edition Allan Wernick explains the intricacies of the immigration law so clearly that even a layman can grasp its basic concepts. The procedures are illustrated by real stories, each one a distinct immigration problem, which translate the dry and complicated legal lingo into plain English that may be eastily understood in the immigrant communities. This very carefully designed book touches on all important aspects of the immigration procedures and explaines recent changes in the law. Considering that every Thursday the author answers immigration questions in his Daily News column (I am an avid reader), I must say that Allan Wernick's book is the only up-to-date book on the market. Before you spend your money on a lawyer, I strongly recommend to check out Allan Wernick's "US Immigration and Citizenship."

Very usefull and well written

This is an excellent book for anyone going through the hurdles of US Immigration. The author covers all bases and still keeps the text easy to read and easy to reference. I have seen Mr. Wernick speak and have read his authoritative newspaper column and this book lives up to his usual high standards. It is the only book of its kind you will need and with the high cost of legal advice, you will save time and money.
