Apply for naturalization at Association House of Chicago’s citizenship workshop

Association House of Chicago will kick off its first of a series of monthly citizenship workshops on Nov. 21. The event will assist qualifying lawful permanent residents (Green Card Visa) with everything they need to fill out the application for naturalization. Bilingual volunteers will be on hand to assist in filling out the application. Lawyers will also be present to screen for any possible legal issues.
In addition to assistance in filling out the application for citizenship, the workshop will offer the following services: low-interest loans for the cost of applying for citizenship, applications for food stamps and health care for children and the opportunity to open a bank account with National City.

Applicants should bring their green card, Social Security card and driver’s license or state ID, a money order payable to USCIS for $675, two passport photos and the personal information detailed on the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights page at icirr.org.

Future workshops will be held on the third Saturday of every month at various locations in Chicago. For more information, call Caitlin Elsaesser at (773) 772-7170 ext. 3022.
