Immigration Forms

Immigration forms, and lots of 'em.  It's a fact of life for those of us involved in Fil-West relationships.  Below you'll find links to the most commonly sought after forms.  Most links are directly to the originator (INS, DOJ, etc.), but I'll post some on my server, also, if they can't be found elsewhere.  If you have a suggestion or a form to contribute, don't hesitate to ask.  I'm at bobukhan@yahoo.com.  Incidentally, many of the forms listed below are rarely used, so don't worry if you aren't told to file them.  Some simply will not apply to your situation. Good luck!
