Citizenship

About LVCA's Citizenship Program

LVCA is proud to help immigrants and refugees prepare to become American citizens. Our citizenship-focused services include group classes, one-on-one tutoring, instructional videos, and additional resources students can use to study on their own. Additionally, we offer practice interviews for those nearing their USCIS interview dates.

During fiscal year 2025 (July 2024 – June 2025), 116 students participated in our citizenship classes, earning 2275 instructional hours through our in-person or online class offerings. While many of our citizenship students are either still preparing to apply or are awaiting their USCIS interviews, 54 of our current and former students passed their naturalization interviews in fiscal year 2025.

We encourage our students and tutors to utilize the links below to access instructional resources and information about our class offerings.
