Free U.S. Citizenship Sessions!
Do you want to learn more about the process of becoming a U.S. citizen?
Are you a provider who works with clients who may want to get their citizenship?
The first Citizenship Information Session this year was at the Bellingham Public Library on February 6th. Immigration attorney Nick Berning, along with Heather Fathali, covered all of the basics of how to go from holding a green card (a legal, permanent resident) to becoming a naturalized citizen. Although this was not legal advice, because the process can be complicated there are many things that can be helpful to know before starting out. Attendees included people who are current green card holders, volunteer tutors who work with people interested in getting their citizenship, local providers, and friends and family.
Please join us for one of the upcoming free sessions with local immigration attorneys who will cover the general eligibility requirements for naturalization, explain the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship, and be available to answer questions.
Additionally, the Whatcom Literacy Council will be there to provide information about its free programs; including how you can sign up for citizenship classes or work with a tutor to prepare for the citizenship test!
