Navigating the U.S. Naturalization Process Part 1: Foundations & Benefits

​This free two-part series is designed to help U.S. permanent residents understand the process of becoming a U.S. Citizen. Led by Sherry Nohara, Managing Attorney at Noha Immigration, she’ll provide information on the requirements for naturalization and explain the most recent changes to immigration policy.

​In this first session, Sherry will explain the core requirements for naturalization and the practical differences between being a Green Card holder and a U.S. Citizen. We’ll discuss why many people choose to naturalize, focusing on benefits like the right to vote, the ability to travel with a U.S. passport, and expanded rights for petitioning family members. You’ll also learn about the basic eligibility rules, including age requirements and the responsibilities that come with citizenship.

​Because the second session builds on the first, we highly recommend that you attend both dates to get a complete picture of the application process. Sign up for the second session on Saturday, May 30 at https://luma.com/lm1ct7rg
