Agency Hosts Event On Becoming U.S. Citizens

DALLAS (AP) ― Immigration officials are looking for some new citizens.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is hosting an information session Wednesday evening in Irving to familiarize immigrants with the naturalization process.

Agency workers will discuss requirements and steps toward U.S. citizenship and review the background checks and processing times applicants face. They'll also give away study aids for the new citizenship test applicants will have to take starting in October.

The session is part of a larger effort by Citizenship and Immigration Services to help non-citizen residents better understand the naturalization process.

Green card holders, called legal permanent residents, can apply to become U.S. citizens after a few years.
