Celebrating Citizenshipworks & Aiding Afghans

Network News

Citizenshipworks celebrates its 10 Year Anniversary!

Citizenshipworks was created to make the naturalization process free, safe, and simple. In the last 10 years, we have partnered with over 200 non-profit organizations nationwide to help thousands of applicants become U.S. citizens, saving millions of dollars in legal fees.

We help applicants from beginning to end:

“Couldn't believe how stress-free the whole process was. All printed with boxes checked... WOW! Should have done this years ago.” - Brian, CA

We help partners save time and money:

“Citizenshipworks is one of the greatest tools an immigration legal services provider could utilize. It is safe, confidential, effective and makes the entire process of Naturalization so much easier for both the applicant and those of us who are providing assistance.”

- Vishal, NY

How to Help Afghans: Update your Directory Listing for Language and Services

The IAN nonprofit legal services directory helps immigrants find legal services and helps the field understand capacity. The best way to update your organization's directory listing is to use the link we send to your "contact person" on how to access and change content.

If you have language capacity for Afghans who speak Dari or Pashto, please check your directory listing to be sure you've selected those languages.

*NEW* We added Special Immigrant Visas, Humanitarian Parole, and P2 for Afghans to our list ("Areas of Immigration Legal Assistance"). Please update your directory listing to control-select those options if you offer them.

If your organization does not receive an updating email in the week ahead, or your "contact person" has changed, go to https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/nonprofit/legaldirectory/, click on your organization, scroll to the bottom, click on "Please report any corrections to this organization's information" in the blue bar at the bottom. Please provide careful details in the form. This process takes more time than the email link because we need to make your changes manually.
