Becoming a U.S. Citizen - A Burbank Reads Program

With One-on-One Application Help

This is an information session designed to explain the steps required to become a U.S. citizen. Afterward, attendees can meet with experts one-on-one to discuss their applications.

Our guest speaker, Ms. Grace Arreola-Muñoz, has many years of experience helping people navigate the U.S. citizenship process. After the information session and a brief Q&A period, our attendees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with DOJ-accredited representatives and immigration attorneys from the International Rescue Committee regarding attendees' personal citizenship applications (30-minute sessions).

Ms. Arreola-Muñoz's session will include:

• an overview of the eligibility requirements
• a step-by-step description of the process
• free preparation materials

Information session: 1:30-3:30 pm

One-on-one consultations: 3:30-5:30 pm
