 I Used This Book and Had No Problems June 25, 2008
I used this book after marrying a foreign citizen who was in the U.S. on a student visa. I found it to have all of the information that I needed to do this on my own, without the help of an immigration attorney. You will also need to read the forms carefully, use common sense, and double-check everything before you send it in.
You would be crazy not to get this reference!! December 26, 2007

My husband is from Germany and we 'discovered' one day that he would be in trouble if he married me without a fiance visa and going through the right channels. We were panicked and we found this reference online. With all of the good reviews, we decided to buy it, and it helped us unbelievably! We were able not only to find a better way to go about it, but it provides checklists for the option you choose, explains all of the possible scenarios that you may be in and which route would be right for you, and all the step by step instructions on how to fill out every single form. Do go onto the uscis.gov website for updates addresses for shipping your forms and the current fee information, but rely completely on this book for everything else!! We couldn't have made it without it! It kept us sane in our time of confusion and worry!
Great book- Super helpful!! December 23, 2007

This book was so helpful when my now husband and I were going through the process of getting a fiance visa. It helps to explain each step that needs to be taken, which is a huge helps as the BCIS does not offer this information. It gives you tons of information and resources that is a huge help and gives you a sense of ease through the stressful, long and expensive process of immigration. I highly recommend this book- it is worth it for peace of mind! I also found a lot of help from contacting my local representative's immigration department, who helps with finding out the status of your case, has access to immigration phone numbers and also can answer any additional questions that this book doesn't answer.
no need to hire lawyer, this book is great tool. i use it fully November 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a foreinger citizen and needed help to adjust my status.After researching for hundreds of books and hours online i found this book to be the best thing you need and by far the best source of information. Depending on your case you may not even have to hire a lawyer, just like i didn't, and save hundreds of dollars. Just read it many times because the USCIS process is complex and sometimes confusing but after reading this book you will think you are a pro. Wish somebody had recommended me this book before i spent so much time searching. I could not afford a lawyer, had my case (adjustment of status) started in august and at the end of october i got my green card (all in less than 3 months - los angeles office). I am very happy, and thanx to the author of this book. Just buy it, and God bless your case.
Review of Fiance & Marriage Visas by I. M. Bray September 19, 2007

This book is very clear and concise in explaining everything I need to do in order to get my husband to the U.S. I was getting and hearing so many different "stories" so this is the most helpful thing I've found. Very highly recommend it! I especially love the fact that it is always up to date...
