Reviews:

"This book is an excellent resource for law students studying immigration law. This text is also a 'must have' for lawyers and non-lawyers alike, who are not familiar with U.S. immigration laws but need a handy tool to refer to with questions on this area of the law. The author's many years of both practical and teaching experience come together in this work to produce a much needed resource …."
-Anna Marie Gallagher, attorney and author of AILA's Focus on Private Bills — Pardons (AILA)

 

"This book is ideal for law students, paralegals, law clerks, and laypersons. The word 'essential' in the title is most appropriate, because the book covers everything that one needs to know about this dynamic and complex field of law. Professor Boswell's book is now th[e] one comprehensive yet readable book about immigration law. I recommend it with pleasure."
-Alberto Manuel Benitez, Professor of Clinical Law and Director, Immigration Clinic, The George Washington University School of Law

 

"Drawing from his excellent scholarship and that of others, [Professor Richard Boswell] has put together a primer that covers all the bases in this fascinating and important field of study and practice. It is well organized, carefully constructed, and very detailed. I expect to use this often: for convenience, for reference, and for teaching short courses …."
-Michael A. Olivas, William B. Bates Distinguished Chair in Law, University of Houston Law Center
