Day One:
Day 1 will provide an overview of the legal elements for naturalization and red flag issues that can cause an applicant to be denied or even deported, including lawful admission as an LPR, continuous residence and physical presence requirements, the English/civics requirement, exceptions, and the disability waiver, as well as the requirements for the oath. During the afternoon, we will have an advanced training of non-crime good moral character issues, including smuggling, false claim, unlawful voting, and more.

Day Two:
Day 2 will begin with an advanced, in-depth discussion of Form N-648 and disability waivers. We will discuss how to fill out the new N-400 application and end with a training on derivation of citizenship.

This training is FREE for the following:

• participating staff from nonprofit organizations working on naturalization and citizenship issues and their dedicated volunteer attorneys.
• private immigration legal workers working on naturalization cases who make a pro bono commitment to a non-profit immigration service provider or volunteer at a naturalization workshop.
