In this day and age of fleeting fame and social media currency, immigration lawyer and advocate Joe Adams turns the spotlight on the genuinely inspiring, true life stories of US immigrants. In his recently released book entitled, Extraordinary Aliens: Twelve People Who Pursued Wealth, Fame, and the American Dream, Adams recognizes and celebrates individuals of extraordinary ability who have beaten the odds, successfully building their lives in the United States.
From across the pond, in a small, quaint town in Northern England, a young English performer had dreams of dancing across the stages in Hollywood. While London was a proximate alternative, he knew that the US was where he was meant to build his career and make a name for himself, just like his popstar idols. Like any dreamer, he knew that the logistics of it would not be as simple as packing his dancing shoes and booking an airplane ticket. However, he also knew that no matter what hoops he’d have to jump over, he’d make it happen. This is just one of the dozen motivating stories highlighted in Adams’s book.
As the President of NRX Hockey, Allain Roy, has said, “Having lived through the process myself, and now recommending a professional like Joe to my pro athletes, it is crucial for all potential citizens to understand that there are good people out there who make becoming an American citizen a lot less intimidating.”
The pages of Extraordinary Aliens are filled with inspiring tales of resilience, determination, and the unwavering pursuit of the American dream. Adams invites his readers into the captivating world of those who have extraordinary ability visas and green card holders, offering a glimpse into their vibrant lives, shaped by their unwavering pursuit of success.
More than just a collection of stories, Extraordinary Aliens delves into the complexities and challenges faced by immigrants seeking to establish themselves in the United States. From the earliest desire to migrate, followed by the initial application process to the cultural adjustments and societal hurdles, Adams provides a genuine and informative account of the journey.
Through the inspiring narratives of twelve extraordinary individuals, readers gain a deeper understanding of the diverse paths that immigrants take to achieve their version of the American dream. Whether it’s a social media influencer from Hungary, a classically trained musician from Australia, or a dancer from the UK, each story showcases the unique talents and unwavering determination that drives individuals to achieve their ambitions in a foreign land, away from the homes they know.
Beyond the eye-opening narratives, Extraordinary Aliens serves as a valuable resource for anyone considering migrating to the United States. It’s a practical guide that sheds light on the intricate maze of U.S. immigration law, with a particular focus on extraordinary ability visas and green cards.
Under the expert guidance of Adams and his direct words, readers will not only be inspired by the stories of success but also equipped with the knowledge to navigate the legal pathways to achieving their American ambitions. The book offers invaluable insights into the complexities of the immigration process, helping individuals avoid common mistakes, unexpected pitfalls, and make informed decisions.
“A powerful and inspiring guide for immigrants,” is how Mayor Serge Dedina of Imperial Beach, California has described the book. Meanwhile, Sonia S. Figueroa, Esq. Immigration lawyer and former USCIS officer, goes on saying, “Joe Adams demonstrates the thoughtfulness and thoroughness required to convey thoughts and ideas that often can appear to be daunting or easily misunderstood.”
While immigration may be a contentious topic for various reasons, Adams firmly believes that immigrants are an essential part of the vibrant tapestry of American culture and that they make it that much richer. Those who have been granted visas based on their extraordinary abilities have made significant contributions to the betterment of American society. Their achievements and contributions enhance the lives of all citizens and help improve society as a whole.
With over two decades of experience as an immigration lawyer, Adams possesses a unique blend of legal expertise and firsthand knowledge of the challenges and triumphs faced by immigrants from all over the world.
