AILA’s Citizenship Day 2014 was a SUCCESS on Many Levels!

On Saturday, April 26, 2014, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) sponsored “Citizenship Day 2014”. “Citizenship Day 2014” was a one day workshop held at more than 50 sites across the United States. The workshop provided free or low cost legal assistance to income qualified Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) who are eligible and would like to become naturalized U.S. citizens.

A Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is any person not a citizen of the United States who is residing the in the U.S. legally as an immigrant, often called a “Green Card Holder”.
