Last week I highlighted the nifty new set of flashcards for the U.S. citizenship test that we have here at the Arkansas State Library. This week I will add a few more resources to help with the legal immigration process. All three books are written by Ilona Bray, J.D., an attorney with many years of experience in immigration law, and are designed to help cut through the tangle of bureaucracy and the confusion that comes with it. They are published by
Nolo Press, an excellent source of legal information for the layperson.
- U.S. Immigration Made Easy (KF 4819.6 .B74 2009): A comprehensive guide to U.S. immigration law that covers the myriad questions and situations that arise in the legal immigration process, including eligibility, the many types of visas available, and when you need a lawyer.
- Becoming a U.S. Citizen: A Guide to the Law, Exam & Interview (KF 4710 .Z9 B73 2008): Once you have become a legal resident there are still many hurdles to becoming a citizen. This book covers the entire naturalization and citizenship process, providing advice and information, starting with eligibility. Bray discusses the myriad situations that may pose difficulties for applicants and recommends remedies where available.
- Fiance & Marriage Visas (KF 4819.85 .B73 2008): A more specific guide than either of the previous books, directed as the specific complications that arise when immigration and citizenship are due to marriage.
