AUDIENCE: U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are either engaged or married to noncitizens from around the world, and who might prefer not to hire a lawyer, or can't afford to, for help with obtaining a U.S. visa/green card for their fiancé or spouse (or the foreign fiances or spouses themselves, though this is less likely given language barriers). REASONS TO BUY THIS NEW EDITION: * In 2017, nearly 600,000 people obtained visas or green cards as spouses of U.S. citizens, close to around 100,000 people obtained visas or green cards as spouses of U.

S. permanent residents, and 36,000 people obtained fiancé (K-1) visas. These figures are fairly typical for these most popular of visa types. [https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2017/table6] * This book is the most complete, accurate, and user-friendly one on the market, covering a topic that will never stop being important. (This is one of few visa categories that the Trump Administration hasn't talked about cutting back!) The book is also easier to understand and follow than U.S.

government websites. * Written by an attorney with years of experience in successfully representing couples seeking fiancé and marriage visas and thoroughly updated to reflect legal and procedural changes. * Checklists and sample forms make a complex process as easy as possible.
