USCIS and the city of Boston have signed a letter of agreement to expand a partnership to strengthen citizenship education and awareness efforts. The agreement will remain in effect for three years.
“USCIS is proud to partner with Mayor Walsh to provide immigrants with greater access to information and resources as they pursue the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship here in ‘The Cradle of Liberty’,” said Rodríguez. “We look forward to working with the Mayor’s Office of New Bostonians and other city services in providing tools to help immigrants contribute to a thriving, welcoming and innovative Boston.”
Under the agreement, USCIS and Boston plan to:
? Provide citizenship information through schools, community centers and other city facilities.
? Expand community partnerships to hold naturalization information sessions throughout Boston.
? Broadcast citizenship education videos and public service announcements highlighting the letter of agreement on the city’s public access television station, Boston City TV, and city websites.
? Raise awareness of how to avoid immigration scams.
