Virtual Citizenship Application Forum

OCA-Greater Houston provides free assistance preparing N400 Citizenship applications for individuals with Green cards (Legal Permanent Residents) each month. If you have had your Green card for 5 years (or 3 years if based on marriage to a US Citizen), you can apply for Citizenship. We suggest you come and start preparing your application 4 to 5 months before your 5- or 3-year date of receiving your LPR Status.

1st Saturday each month (unless holiday weekend) | 9:30 am—12:30 pm
