New Citizenshipworks Learning Center
Citizenshipwork launched a new learning center this month, "About
Citizenship." It features plain language articles in English and
Spanish on citizenship basics and common questions for prospective
applicants. Topics include qualifying for citizenship, the process,
the interview, the costs, the upcoming fee changes and more. In the
year ahead, we will add informative and timely articles to help
people understand the naturalization process. Do you know someone who
is thinking about applying for citizenship? Send them to
