Naturalization and Legal Services
Naturalization Services
ReWA offers help to refugees and immigrants who want assistance with the naturalization process.
- Bilingual staff who speak English, Arabic, Kurdish, Vietnamese, Russian, and Ukrainian, to help clients complete application forms (N400, fee waiver, and medical disability waiver) and remind them of key appointments.
- A staff attorney to answer naturalization questions.
- Classes to help applicants prepare for the 100 citizenship questions. Students also work with instructors and in small groups to practice for the reading, writing, and speaking portion of the naturalization interview.
- Mock interviews to practice for the naturalization interview.
- Legal representation at the interview, as needed, to help address complicated issues, e.g. a criminal history or medical disability.
Citizenship Clinics
ReWA partners with the City of Seattle’s Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs and others within the community to offer special and free one day events to help eligible residents apply for citizenship. These events work best for residents who do not have special issues associated with their naturalization application.
