Becoming a U.S. citizen is a dream for many.


The session runs from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the library, 150 E. San Fernando St.

During the session, USCIS personnel will explain the naturalization process step by step.

They will also explain eligibility and residency requirements, give out application forms, define what fees are necessary, explain the background security check and tell attendees how long it takes to process applications.

An overview of U.S. history and civic principles will be shown, and sample questions from the test necessary to become a citizen will be shared.

Additionally, a USCIS officer will act out a naturalization interview so attendees can see what one is like.

Materials will be available in both English and Spanish, and bilingual employees are expected to be on hand.

The sessions are only in English, but attendees can to bring someone to translate for them.

Reservations are not necessary, and paid parking is available across from the library at the Fourth Street garage at Fourth and E. San Fernando streets.
