Applying for citizenship is a complex legal process. Plan for long wait times--properly evaluating your case and, if you qualify, filling out the citizenship application, takes time. Depending on how complicated your case is, you may be at Citizenship Day anywhere from 3-6 hours. Bring a snack and something to read while you are waiting.
You MUST bring the correct documents to Citizenship Day. Please read the list below, and call us at 1-877-926-3924 or email wna@weareoneamerica.org if you have questions.
