Alma Salazar Passes her Citizenship Exam!

Alma Salazar de Alejos moved to the United States from Mexico in 2006. She has been learning and practicing English ever since she arrived here. Alma had already applied for citizenship and enrolled in the CWS citizenship classes to make sure her application was successful and that she was prepared to pass the exam. “The classes were very helpful to me. In class, I learned the exact pronunciation of the words. I like when the teacher asked us about the 100 USCIS questions.”

Alma loved the citizenship classes and met many friends there who supported her. She also enjoyed the tutoring session outside of class because “there were only two people there, instead of the big class, so I could learn more about things that were difficult for me to learn.” Alma says she will definitely recommend this class to others. Now that she is a U.S. Citizen, Alma is looking forward to many of the privileges that come with citizenship status. She hopes that other people use Church World Services legal and educational services to help with the citizenship process as well.
