Lovo, an immigration law specialist and a regular guest on Univision’s Despierta America (“Wake Up, America”), compiles a useful guide to immigration’s most frequently asked questions. Geared to Latin American immigrants, the book thoroughly examines topics such as how to get residency through a relative, get a work visa, participate in the visa lottery, and request a visa outside the United States. He also goes into great detail about the best way to tackle different matters in a court of immigration and enumerates the requisites for requesting asylum. Lovo includes copies of original immigration forms with exact translations, useful charts that include estimates of the time and cost, and, in some instances, a list of the most commonly asked questions with straightforward answers. Lovo also examines questions of fraud and illegal precedents and how these can affect any request for establishing legal status in this country. Valuable appendixes include a list of institutions offering free legal advice in various cities throughout the United States and a list of questions, in both English and Spanish, that are likely to appear on the U.S. citizenship test. Highly recommended for all bookstores and public libraries
