President Larry Dominick has always supported Cicero’s immigrant community and valued the many contributions they have brought to the Town of Cicero. “Immigrants have built this great nation and this great town since the beginning, and we have the responsibility to help them become part of mainstream America so they can have a voice in their government,” President Dominick said. “I am proud of the work that members of the Cicero Citizenship Committee provides to help immigrants complete this process and become American citizens.” The program not only helps residents become US citizens, but also assist them in renewing their residential status with the goal of becoming of US citizens in the future. The Cicero Citizenship Program is at no cost for Cicero residents, other than fees paid directly to the Federal Government, US Department of Homeland Security. The program includes filing process, citizenship classes, and pre-testing of US citizenship candidates.
