Becoming a U.S. citizen : a guide to the law, exam & interview / Ilona M. Bray, J.D.

Bray, Ilona M., 1962- (author.).

Summary:

Green card holders who take the next step and become U.S. citizens gain a host of benefits: the right to vote and apply for certain federal jobs, faster immigration for family, protection against deportation or new anti-immigration legislation, and more. But the application process itself can be long and confusing--and at worst, create a risk of deportation. With Becoming a U.S. Citizen, you can save months, or even years, and avoid complications. Learn how to: make sure you are eligible for citizenship, understand the risks and rewards of applying, fill out application forms, study for the citizenship exam, interview successfully, and deal with delays and setbacks. Becoming a U.S. Citizen also shows you how to ask for a reduced fee or take advantage of special exceptions if you have a disability, are in the military, or are the spouse of a U.S. citizen. -- Provided by publisher.
