Most common challenges to anticipate when applying for Citizenship  

Today. I wanna tell you how you can make the application process of becoming a us citizen. Much easier.

Hi, my name's Mira Shavarini executive director of project citizenship. Our mission here at project citizenship is laser focused and that's to increase the naturalization rate in Massachusetts and beyond. I relate to this mission. Quite personally, it took me and my family 17 years to become us citizens

I know all too well, the difficult journeys that immigrants have faced to get to this country and then all the paperwork and the applications to get to the green card.

 “so I want to give you a few tips.... citizenship application.”

“Tip #1: Prepare for the Citizenship application fees”  

The most common challenge of becoming a us citizen for the people that we serve is the application fee. The application fee to become a us citizen is $725. If you have a job that's low wage, you have a family of four or five that costs immediately becomes cost prohibitive. That's the number one challenge.
Tip #2: Anticipate a challenging 20-page application

The second obstacle is the application itself. It's a 20 page long application with full of questions that are difficult to understand. Double negatives, even a trained lawyer makes mistakes.
Tip #3: Prevent time-consuming and costly mistakes

The third obstacle is the time. It takes a long time to complete the application and to submit it for approval. You don't wanna jeopardize having that application rejected because of one mistake. You wanna make sure that it's full proof, that it's been completely vetted. And that's what we do with project citizenship. Make sure that the application is fully tight before we submit it to the government. So you don't waste the time and you don't waste your fee.

“Tip #4: Get hands-on assistance from a trusted organization
