‣ Citizenship Info Sessions and Workshops
We periodically hold information sessions to inform people about the process of becoming a US Citizen (eligibility requirements, application steps, timeline, and more), screen for eligibility, and assist those eligible with filing their application. If you represent a group that would benefit from a workshop or have a public space where you would like to host a workshop, feel free to contact us to schedule an event.
‣ Tutoring and Interview Prep
On a case by case basis, we may offer individual tutoring and/or an orientation and instructions for the interview to those who need intensive practice before their naturalization appointment.
