Why your green card or naturalization interview could now be scheduled farther from home
A new government policy makes it possible for your green card or naturalization interview to be scheduled outside of your normal USCIS jurisdiction.

There are currently large backlogs in some areas of the country in the processing of applications to adjust status (green card) applications, and applications for naturalization. This is causing a big discrepancy in processing times based on where an applicant resides. To help ensure more uniformity across the nation, USCIS has announced that it will begin shifting caseloads between field offices. That means that your green card or citizenship interview may now be scheduled earlier, but at a USCIS office located farther from home. USCIS has stated that the change will not affect the location of biometrics appointments.

Make it your 2019 resolution to become a U.S. citizen!
If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), now is the time to take that next step to become a U.S. citizen.
Our government is targeting immigrants in the U.S., even lawful permanent residents. It has become challenging for permanent residents to reenter the U.S. after foreign travel - many of our clients tell us that they have been interrogated for hours at the airport in “secondary inspection” and their phones taken and searched. Others are concerned about being (wrongfully) placed into deportation proceedings due to a minor criminal conviction in their past.
