Free Citizenship Workshop at Dallas College Mountain View on March 28

With support from the City of Dallas, the International Rescue Committee and Catholic Charities of Dallas are teaming up to host a free citizenship workshop at Dallas College Mountain View on March 28.

The city issued a bulletin about the event earlier this week. According to the bulletin, the event doesn't require an appointment and will be completely free. Attendees will sit down on-on-one with a bilingual attorney or trained volunteer.

By the time attendees leave, they will have their N-400 application reviewed and ready to mail to USCIS. Additionally, RAICES will be hosting a Know Your Rights Session on-site open to everyone who attended the event.

The workshop is for individuals with a valid Green Card that's at least five years old (or three years if you're married to a U.S. citizen), have lived in Texas for at least three months, are 18 or older, and can read, write, and speak basic English.

The city asks individuals to not attend if they have criminal history, including arrests, charges, or convictions, even if dismissed or expunged. Individuals who have had removal proceedings, a deportation order, or agreed to a voluntary departure are also ineligible.

Attendees should bring their Green Card, a photo ID, and written histories of where they've lived, where they've worked, and any travel outside the U.S. over the past five years. Please plan for only the person applying to attend.

Doors will open at 9 a.m. and the first 80 attendees will be served. Mountain View College, 4849 W. Illinois Ave., Bldg. W, Dallas, TX.

No immigration status will be verified at the door. Reach out to Jaime Treviño at dallas.imm@rescue.org with any questions.
