On April 25th, 2009, Chinese Mutual Aid Association, in partnership with the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Cultural Center, Cambodian Association of Illinois, Ethiopian Community Association of Illinois, and the Lao American Community Services Center, held a Citizenship and Immigration Workshop.
Eighty-seven people attended to hear United States Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) officers speak about the naturalization process. Among the issues covered were the benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen, services and assistance available to legal permanent residents (green-card holders), and a mock citizenship interview.
Afterward, the USCIS officers stayed to answer individual questions from participants in the audience. The event was a success and offered participants the unique opportunity of interacting with USCIS officers in a less intimidating atmosphere.
