CHICAGO — Permanent resident aliens living in the U.S. and seeking to become U.S. citizens will get a hand up from a program started by the $8 million North Side Community Federal Credit Union.
Dubbed the New Americans Loan Program, the money will go to help the new immigrants meet the rising cost of the citizenship application, the CU said.
Permanent residents are documented immigrants who are in the U.S. legally and who want to become U.S. citizens. The costs of applying for citizenship have increased significantly in the past few years and are expected to do so again this year. The New American loans from North Side will help immigrants pay the costs, often between $800 and $1,200 per couple of immigrants applying, North Side said.
