For the past six years, I have been a featured speaker and volunteer at the Plano Multicultural Outreach Roundtable (MCOR) Citizenship Workshop. The workshop always draws a large number of future citizens but this year, we saw three times as many attendees. Why? Some believe the Trump administration's executive orders, like the travel ban, have many afraid that even permanent residents can lose their status and rights in the U.S.

Whatever your reason, if you plan to become a citizen, don't delay. Apply as soon as you are eligible. For more information about citizenship requirements, visit our citizenship information page.

Here's TV coverage of the Plano MCCOR Citizenship Workshop on February 11, 2017.
