Nebraska’s Senator Ben Nelson today announced that he has helped to arrange two clinics in Scottsbluff to help legal immigrants who are hoping to become U.S. citizens.
“The immigration process can sometimes be complicated, confusing and intimidating,” said Nelson. “It is my hope that by having immigration experts sit down with legal immigrants to discuss the immigration and naturalization process, the tests they’ll take, and answer their questions, it will help them succeed in gaining their citizenship.”
The clinics will be held at the Harms Advanced Technology Center at Western Nebraska Community College at 2620 College Park, Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
The session on Wednesday, November 2nd, will be from 6 to 8 pm MT. The session will inform the public of the immigration process with a special segment on the naturalization process. The presentation will include various testing procedures to become a new citizen. There will be opportunities to ask questions. Issues to be discussed include refugee status, foreign students, lawful permanent residents and adoption.
The Thursday, November 3rd session will be from 8 am to 2 pm MT and will include an immigration outreach program where the public can have any questions answered that they wish about immigration issues. In addition, anyone wishing to take the history and government tests to become a new citizen may do so. If they pass the test they will not have to take the test at their citizenship interview. The test is for lawful permanent residents who are ready to file or have filed the N-400 application to become a new citizen.
