Citizenship Day – April 23rd @ Tacoma Community House

Ready to fill out your N400? Need the fee waived?  Need Free Legal Help?

 Citizenship Day –February 6th in South Seattle

Location: 
International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) District Council 5
6770 E Marginal Way South, Building E
Seattle, WA 98108

You can call and make an appointment, you should go EARLY and be prepared to spend all day.  You can get help filling out the N400 and fee waiver voucher, meet with an attorney, and possibly walk out with a completed application.  I recommend either calling or looking at their website for information.  More flyers are on the Citizenship Day Tab at the top of this page.  The list of documents you should bring is below.  
Highly recommended!  This is a great opportunity for people to get free legal help!

For those who can’t attend Citizenship events, they need to go to a BIA accredited Non-Profit or attorney.  (BIA= Board of Immigration Appeals) There are many people who have a well-meaning friend or relative fill out the N400 form, only to cause years of problems and frustrations if it’s not filled out correctly.  This goes for any immigration forms.  See below—I highly recommend St. James Immigrant Assistance.

o   St. James Immigrant Assistance—they can also help with applications, and there services are free to those who qualify as low-income.  You can also refer people to them for DACA.  They were the ones who gave the info session on DACA last quarter at RTC.  I do have some of their brochures if anyone needs to refer people.  Their contact info is below:
