USCIS Publishes New Guideline About Living in the United States
On June
7 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a new
publication available on the web at http://uscis.gov/graphics/citizenship/welcomeguide/index.htm
or for purchase from the U.S. Government Printing Office by
calling 1-866-512-1800. Called Welcome to the United States:
A Guide for New Immigrants, the guide includes information
about many aspects of living in the United States, about rights
and responsibilities of permanent residents, and about the
workings of the federal government. This 112-page publications
appears to contain some very useful information for immigrants
and non-immigrants alike. However, as far as it concerns legal
advice, be warned that it presents an overly simplistic explanation
of various legal issues, such as maintenance of permanent
resident status and becoming a United States citizen. Don't
depend upon this publication for legal advice!
Tightened Security Creating Visa Backlog
President Bush has not been able to reduce the backlog of visa applications and other immigration paperwork,
as he had promised. The reason seems to be a new layer of security checks following the Sept. 11 attacks.
