      Do-it-yourself law is always a risky proposition, way more so if you’re not a lawyer. This do-it-yourself immigration book is published by Nolo, a company specializing in self-help law books. This concept is fine, if the advice is regarded as clues to the right path. Total reliance on these clues for important concepts like how to obtain legal status to reside in the United States would be misguided. For actual legal advice, consult a lawyer. Beyond this caveat, “U.S. Immigration Made Easy” covers a lot of complicated territory in a clear, concise format. It has charts; checklists; important tips set off by little exclamation, light bulb, and briefcase icons; and even an immigration eligibility self-quiz. This treatise distills the law for both permanent resident (green card) and nonimmigrant (temporary) visa status, as well as the goal of obtaining U.S. citizenship. It is a very useful reference for anyone involved in immigrating to the United States. Even if you are already a permanent resident, it is a useful tool. Most green card holders have friends and relatives also contemplating immigration and in need of answers. Readers must always be aware that laws, regulations and policies are always changing, so reliance on any written text should be cautious. Although Nolo provides free updates on its website, it would be more helpful if the text also contained citations and references to the supporting regulations and laws so readers could take this do-it-yourself method to the next level. With access to the Internet and Google, readers can easily take the next step and check out the basis for the guidance in “U.S. Immigration Made Easy,” along with any revisions in the law. Although, such references would also lend more authority to the statements in the treatise, this omission is understandable if it would create an appearance of complexity that would scare off the intended audience. A nice compromise would be endnotes referencing the law.In short, if you’re looking for a nice all-purpose cookbook on U.S. immigration, this book is the absolutely the right purchase and worth every penny.
