Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
LOS ANGELES — Officials from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will offer nine free online one-hour information sessions this month, including sessions in Spanish and Mandarin. Five sessions will discuss the process of becoming a U.S. citizen, two will cover the asylum process, one is about how to petition for a relative as a green card holder and one is an immigration overview for Afghan parolees.
The five naturalization sessions will discuss eligibility requirements, fees, how to file, and how to prepare for the naturalization interview and test. Officials will also be available to answer participants’ questions about the naturalization process and online filing.
