Naturalization Drives & Citizenship WorkshopsThe Latin American Association organizes naturalization drives during which those wishing to obtain U.S. citizenship can learn about the naturalization process and receive assistance with their citizenship application. Immigration experts are present to assist participants and answer questions. Participants will also be screened to ensure that they meet the government requirements to apply for citizenship.
The LAA also partners with organizations such as the US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) to host citizenship workshops. During these workshops, participants have the opportunity to learn about the U.S. naturalization process and ask questions of U.S. naturalization officers.

Redesigned Naturalization TestAfter October 8, 2008, a new test for naturalization applicants will be administered. The resulting redesigned test was publicly introduced on September 27, 2007. Naturalization applicants will begin taking the revised test on October 1, 2008.
Which Test Do I Take? Following the public introduction of the redesigned naturalization test on September 27, 2007, there will be one full year before naturalization applicants begin taking the revised test. This period will allow adult educators and immigrants working toward citizenship sufficient time to prepare for the redesigned test. The following guidelines will determine whether naturalization applicants will take the current test or the redesigned version:
If an applicant:
• Applies BEFORE October 1, 2008 and is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview BEFORE October 1, 2008, he or she will take the current test. • Applies BEFORE October 1, 2008 and is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview AFTER October 1, 2008, he or she can choose to take the current test or the redesigned version. • Applies AFTER October 1, 2008, he or she will take the redesigned version. • Is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview AFTER October 1, 2009, regardless of when he or she applied, he or she will take the redesigned version.
