High-quality citizenship and integration services.

USCIS wishes to award $300,000 to up to 40 organizations each for two years to expand the availability of high-quality citizenship and integration services. This service will fund non-profit or non-profit public organizations offering citizenship direction and naturalization application services to legal permanent residents. These applications are due by June 21.

USCIS Director Ur M.
