Happy Constitution Day!

On September 17, 1787 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, delegates from the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution, the fundamental framework of our government.  Today our nation celebrates Constitution Day along with Citizenship Day as part of an extended Constitution Week celebration.  U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is celebrating Constitution Day and Citizenship Day with a number of naturalization ceremonies being administered across the country.  This year 36,000 foreign nationals will become U.S. citizens in over 200 naturalization ceremonies being held between today and September 23rd.  Happy Constitution Day!

If you are a lawful permanent resident seeking to naturalize and become a U.S. citizen, contact us for a consultation.

USCIS Releases Revised N-400

Yesterday, USCIS released a revised Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.  The new N-400 is longer than its predecessor and contains several new questions. However, to the delight of paralegals everywhere, it no longer requires applicants to list all trips outside the U.S. since they attained Legal Permanent Resident status, but rather only those trips which occurred in the last 5 years. You can view the new form via the USCIS website.

USCIS will continue to accept previous versions of the form until May 5, 2014.
