This week, Representative Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) announced he would be holding a free citizenship workshop on Saturday, September 19 at the Instituto del Progreso Latino, 2520 S. Western Ave., at 9am., in Chicago to respond to a growing demand for assistance in applying for citizenship. The citizenship workshop will include one-on-one counseling, reviewing the process and fees, an application for a fee waiver, and additional information from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service and Chicago area advocacy groups and service providers. Volunteer attorneys will be on-hand to advise constituents about their eligibility. For those who can complete the process, an application, along with an application for a fee waiver, will be mailed by the Congressman after the workshop. To pre-register, call 773-342-0774.
