Kids, don't try this at home.  The INS is the epitome of the inefficient,
unresponsive bureaucracy (hint: how many voters do they deal with?).

You absolutely can't get a Green Card these days without an attorney,
unless you are a refugee from a high-profile group.  And, as the original
poster hinted, most people will need a sponsoring employer, who needs to
prove you aren't putting a citizen out of work (good luck, in this
economy).

It can be done, but I doubt it can be done alone.  Incidentally, the bill
for mine in 1985 came to just over $5000, mostly attorney fees.

Hate, hate, hate, HATE the INS!!!
