Citizenship & Green Card Renewal Support

FIRM Citizenship Support

FIRM provides free ESL/Citizenship classes for the community. When cohorts are in session, classes take place Monday through Wednesday, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM and are conducted in Lao and English.  FIRM staff support clients to prepare for the Naturalization test by teaching US history and civics and introductory English. Staff also assist clients with the Application for Naturalization (as well as applying for applicable fee waivers).  If you would like to become a citizen of the United States, come see us today!  For more information, please contact Vicki Kham (Laotian) or Sam Chang (Hmong/Lao/Thai).

Additional Citizenship and Naturalization Resources  

Information about citizenship and required documents can be found on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Website.  On this site, you can find information about who can apply for citizenship or immigration, needed forms, fee schedules, contacts for more information and much more.

To prepare for the test, you can use these study materials from USCIS.

To find Form N-400, the application for naturalization, along with requirements, instructions, eligibility worksheet, current fees and more, click here.

For information about how to petition for the immigration of family members of recent refugees & asylees, click here.

Sometimes, the paperwork and fees for citizenship & immigration can be complex.  FIRM offers to help for free, but many others may offer “help” as well.  Don’t Be a Victim of Immigration Fraud.
