Understanding the process of citizenship and naturalization might be a complex topic for some, but this will be thoroughly explained thanks to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) this fall, in Inglewood.
The Inglewood Public Library will host two naturalization information sessions presented by USCIS, inside the Gladys Waddingham Lecture Hall at the Main Library, located at 101 West Manchester Blvd.
USCIS personnel will be on-hand to discuss the naturalization process step-by-step and provide information about eligibility and residency requirements, application forms, fees, a background security check, and processing times. The information sessions will be bilingual and include presentations in Spanish. Participants will also see sample questions from the naturalization test and receive an overview of U.S. history, and civic principles.
The sessions will be held on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 6 to 7:45 p.m. in English and in Spanish, and on Nov. 21 from 6 to 7:45 p.m.
These sessions are part of a larger USCIS initiative to help immigrants better understand the naturalization and citizenship process, including the content of the naturalization test, and become familiar with free educational resources and materials available from the agency.
Free educational materials will be distributed while supplies last and bilingual immigration service officers will be available for questions and answers at these sessions.
The program is free and open to everyone. Library parking is free after 4 p.m.
