Over the past few years, immigration laws have gotten tighter and there has been an increased emphasis on immigration enforcement.  Under these conditions, it might be important for legal permanent residents (LPR’s) to apply for citizenship. Also, immigration filings fees are constantly getting higher, so it is better to file now before the fees become even more unaffordable.
