ALA Citizenship Day
Saturday, May 21 & Saturday, June 4
Since 1998, Asian Law Alliance has partnered with allies to organize “Citizenship Day,” an annual event in which low-income immigrants receive help with citizenship applications and related fee waivers, free of charge. Applications are reviewed by licensed immigration attorneys and Department of Justice Accredited Representatives. Last year, Citizenship Day saved participating community members $130,610! As many as 1,500 legal permanent residents have received free assistance through Citizenship Day.
ALA thanks all of our 2022 Citizenship Day volunteers. We look forward to serving the community with you on Saturday, May 21 and Saturday, June 4.
Volunteer registration is now closed.
