Becoming a U. S. Citizen : A Guide to the Law, Exam and Interview

By Ilona Bray and Ilona Bray J.D.

Book Overview

Everything you need to become a naturalized U.S. citizen

The sooner a green card holder becomes a U.S. citizen, the sooner he or she gains a host of benefits: the right to vote and apply for certain federal jobs, faster immigration for family, protection against deportation or new anti-immigration legislation, and more.

But the application process itself can be long and confusing--and at worst, create a risk of deportation. With Becoming a U.S. Citizen, you can save months, or even years, and avoid complications.

Learn how to:

make sure you are eligible for citizenship
understand the risks and rewards of applying
fill out application forms
study for the citizenship exam
interview successfully, and
deal with any setbacks.

Becoming a U.S. Citizen also shows you how to ask for a reduced fee or take advantage of special exceptions if you have a disability, are in the military, or are the spouse of a U.S. citizen.

The 10th edition is updated with the latest laws, procedures, and government policies. It includes sample forms, handy checklists, and a study guide to the citizenship exam.

Becoming a U.S. Citizen: A Guide to the Law, Exam & Interview

Good book with much useful and clear information. Good buy. BUT, if you go to an adult education center in your neighborhood and sign up for a citizenship class you can buy a similar book for $10, AND get personalized help filling out the forms AND the latest information on the whole process.

USEFUL BUT.....

i will give this book five stars if only because of it's accuracy in detailing all information. HOWEVER, nobody should spend any more money than they already have (God knows how much money has been paid to get this far!) since ANY and ALL information written on this book can be found at the immigration website, www.uscis.gov.

Good Book

I ordered this book on January 2004. I read the review before I ordered it. This book is very useful for me because I wanted to know about the Law, Exam and Interview. It may be useful for new immigrants who've been for 5 years or more. I study this book since January. I went to Boston, MA on March 15th, 2004 for an interview. And guess what, I passed it. I became a U.S. Citizen but, I may have to go to Boston again to get a Naturalization Certificate. Thank this book.
