HELP WITH CITIZENSHIP & IMMIGRATION FORUMS
BakerRipley regularly holds these free forums in partnership with NALEO Educational Fund, the City of Houston, and Univision 45.
Volunteer attorneys assist qualified Lawful Permanent Residents who are applying for Naturalization (Citizenship). Other volunteers are needed to help applicants complete their application forms. Volunteers can also provide support as runners or interpreters, and at registration.
