While the Trump bump in applications is significant, it’s part of a long-term rise in people seeking citizenship.

Meanwhile, in NY, programs such as NaturalizeNY provides free help to those who want to become citizens. It is an initiative, created by the Governor's office and administered by the New York State Office for New Americans, that supports immigrant New Yorkers through the naturalization process by providing free eligibility screenings, application assistance, and exam preparation.  

Up to 1500 applicants who register through NaturalizeNY can have their federal application fees waived! Enter the lottery before July 28th and save on the cost of the federal application fee.
