Naturalization and U.S. Citizenship

New 11th Edition released in March 2011. One of the most comprehensive guides on the naturalization process has been updated for case law through 2010. Consisting of 15 chapters and extensive appendices, the entire process of representing a naturalization applicant from the initial client meeting through the oath of allegiance is thoroughly addressed. Overall the reader will learn detailed eligibility requirements for naturalization and helpful suggestions on both procedural issues and ways to effectively work with naturalization clients. We discuss what to do if a naturalization application is denied and how to determine if a client may already be a U.S. citizen through either acquisition or derivation of citizenship. You will find a thorough discussion of the recent changes in the law concerning citizenship for children. The Essential Guide contains detailed information on good moral character and contains valuable information on how to help applicants with disabilities apply for naturalization. One of the strengths of the Essential Guide is that it is very easy to read and understand for lawyers and other community advocates, including paralegals, community and labor organizers, and teachers. With dozens of examples demonstrating the legal concepts and hundreds of citations to the law, the reader will be thoroughly prepared to do the legal research necessary to successfully support clients towards naturalization.
