Naturalization Test: What Happens After

passport-2_2807486

So you’ve applied for naturalization, gone to the interview, and passed all exams and requirements. What happens after? After the USCIS approves your naturalization, you will be required to attend a naturalization ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance at your scheduled time and location.

At the ceremony, you will be required to return your permanent resident card at check-in. You will then be directed to take the Oath of Allegiance and be given your Certificate of Naturalization. Make sure all the information on the certificate is accurate before leaving the ceremony.

Now that you are a U.S. citizen, you are advised to apply for a United States passport immediately. This is because a passport is an official proof of your citizenship in the United States. You should also update your Social Security information 10 days after your naturalization ceremony.

Immigration Reform Gets Delayed

supreme-court---washington-d-c---landmark--justice_19-111738

It appears that the passage of President Obama’s new immigration reform bill will be delayed once again. The president wanted the decision to be made in August, but House Republicans have not yet reached an agreement regarding their piecemeal approach. President Obama agrees that America needs to make a decision on the immigration issue once and for all—we cannot afford putting it off again.

The immigration reform bill was designed to strengthen border security, provide a pathway for citizenship, expand programs for skilled workers, and set up guest worker permits. Republicans, however, are hesitant on the part of the bill that includes citizenship for the 11 million undocumented citizens. Instead, they want to focus on the Dream Act for legalization of those who were brought into the United States illegally as children. The chances of reaching an agreement by the August deadline are slim, but Republicans will have to come to an agreement sooner or later.

Getting a Green Card: Do You Qualify For the LIFE Act?

The Legal Immigration Family Equity (LIFE) Act allows some people to change their status to permanent resident even if they would not be otherwise eligible. Protection under the LIFE Act is called Section 245 adjustment of status and it might be able to help you get a green card.

 
To get a green card under the LIFE act, someone needs to have petitioned for you as an alien worker or relative or have a labor certification filed before April 30, 2001. If you have one of these petitions in your name, you may qualify for a green card through the LIFE act. Section 245 needs you to have a visa readily available to you, so file your form when one becomes available. For more information on being granted a visa before changing your status to resident, see our other posts or see U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services . If you have a visa available and the proper certification (listed above) the LIFE Act can provide permanent residence regardless of unlawful presence in the U.S., working illegally in the U.S., or leaving the U.S. during your stay, which disrupts your continuous stay. This means you can file for Section 245 residence under the LIFE Act if you are currently present in the U.S. unlawfully or have been working without a permanent work visa.

 
In order to receive a green card under section 245, you must be admissible to the U.S. This means you should be careful not to trigger inadmissibility. For example, you should not depart the country after unlawful stay in the U.S. because you will be barred from re-entry. Look into INA law for instructions on avoiding inadmissibility.

 
Children and spouses of section 245 green card holders may also be offered protection from removal if they have been living in the U.S. and can be granted employment lawfully under your LIFE Act residence card.

 
You should check the dates that section 245 requires you or your family to have been in the U.S. because they are often changing. Always be careful to file the most current forms with the most current information to avoid delays in your application process.
