EVENTS
Citizenship Clinics
Please complete this intake form to register for an upcoming Citizenship Clinic. These Citizenship Clinics are hosted by the Asian Pacific Islanders Coalition of South Puget Sound (APIC SPS) in partnership with The Korean Women's Association (KWA). The purpose is to connect Legal Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders) to the information and services they need to successfully apply for citizenship and become active members in our community.
Translated posters are available in Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, and Khmer in the pdf to the right. Use the arrows to scroll to each language.
What to expect at the Citizenship Clinic: We will conduct a general intake, legal screening, form preparation, quality review, copy, and exit with all clients.
Date: Citizenship Clinics will be held in person on the fourth Thursday of every other month starting in February 2026. Please see more information below.
Time: By appointment only, limited spots available. You may sign up for one session, which may take up to 45 minutes. Please see more information below.
Cost: There is no cost for attending the clinic. But, you must pay a $760 Application Fee to USCIS as part of your citizenship application. If your household income is between FPL 150-400%, the application fee can be reduced to $380. If you receive public benefits (such as SNAP or Apple Health), the application fee can be waived.
Location: Thurston county, WA (the exact address will be provided after you register successfully)
