The No Bull Guide to Citizenship demystifies the naturalization process for the general public. It explains naturalization law in simple, understandable language and systematically outlines the steps involved in filing naturalization applications.
Even though nine in 10 applications are approved by the INS, the citizenship application process is cause for needless anxiety among the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who apply for it annually. The No Bull Guide to Citizenship is the one-stop resource for answers to all your questions on U.S. citizenship, including the application process.
Nearly six million alien permanent residents, almost half of all "green card" holders living in the United States, are eligible for U.S. citizenship. Prompted by changes in welfare laws and concerns over the country's tightening immigration policies, the number of citizenship applications in recent years have almost quadrupled to over 1.5 million annually.
This no bull, comprehensive guide examines the advantages and disadvantages of U.S. citizenship; requirements for eligibility; naturalization forms; language and civics requirements; INS interview; oath ceremony and dual citizenship.
The No Bull Guide to Citizenship is edited by Achal Mehra, Ph.D., associate professor of communications at Albright College and editor of Little India, a monthly feature magazine targeted at the Asian Indian community in the United States. Dr. Mehra has authored or edited four previous books, including Free Flow Information, Press Systems in Asean, Newspaper Management in the New Multimedia Age and Communication Development and Human Rights.
Separate sections in the book provide detailed and wide-ranging information on such areas as:
The advantages and disadvantages of U.S. citizenship. Requirements for eligibility. Reasons for disqualification. Step-by-step completion of naturalization forms. Red flags: The areas you need to be cautious about. The INS Citizenship Test: Complete list of 100 questions with answers. The simpler 65/20 Citizenship Test for people over 65. The language requirements. The INS interview. The citizenship oath and ceremony. Dual citizenship: Can you retain your current citizenship after taking U.S. citizenship?
