LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — An immigration group is helping more Nevada residents apply to become U.S. citizens through a free clinic held in Las Vegas.
The Nevada chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association hosted “Citizenship Day,” offering free help filling out N-400 applications for naturalization.

Immigration attorney Angel Graf said the event is meant to support immigrants who consider Nevada home.
“Citizenship is really important. Immigrants are Nevada. Nevada means home. We want them to feel welcome and have the same opportunities as someone who was born in Las Vegas,” Graf said.
Graf said fees for citizenship could go up in the next few months, so people who qualify are being encouraged to apply now. She also urged applicants to speak with an attorney first to make sure nothing in their past could put them at risk.
She recommended starting with a local union, Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Catholic Charities or a local immigration attorney. She also pointed to the national website Citizenshipworks.org, which offers online pre-screening for people interested in beginning the process.
