 IMPORTANT UPDATE 
 Readers should take note that a new version of the Form N-400 application for citizenship came out in September 2019, subsequent to this book's printing. Fortunately it's almost identical: the same questions in the same order. Thus the instructions in Nolo's book are still valid. However, please take note of a printing error in this ninth edition. While the instructions correctly explain that only certain types of people can safely answer "No" to any of Questions 45-50 in Part 12 of the form (asking about things like support for the Constitution and willingness to serve in U.S. armed forces), and that most people should answer "Yes" to all, the sample form shows "X" marks in the "No" column. Readers should disregard this portion of the sample. For more info check the update here: https://www.nolo.com/legal-updates/new-n-400-naturalization-application-form-required-by-uscis.html

 Review “The best, most accurate explanation of immigration laws for nonlawyers thus far.” Immigration Law Today. 
"Becoming a U.S. Citizen: A Guide to the Law, Exam & Interview is a practical, reader-friendly guide to making the transition from green card holder to naturalized U.S. citizen, thereby earning benefits including the right to vote, the opportunity to apply for certain federal jobs, faster immigration for family members, protection against deportation, and more. Chapters discuss how to discern whether one is eligible for citizenship, the risks and rewards of applying, how to fill out application forms, preparing for the citizenship exam as well as interviews, and much more. It should be noted that the publisher's website nolo.com includes a wealth of resources for prospective American citizens, such as legal updates to Becoming a U.S. Citizen and in-depth profiles of immigration lawyers in one's area. While Becoming a U.S. Citizen cannot substitute for the counsel of a trained attorney, it is a "must-read" and worthy of the highest recommendation, even (especially!) if one retains the services of a lawyer." Library Bookwatch, The Midwest Book Review\n“The clearest, most accurate explanation of immigration laws 
for nonlawyers thus far.”\nAmerican Immigration Lawyers Association\nFrom the Author: One of the most joyous parts of working as an attorney representing immigrants was when they successfully became U.S. citizens. It represents so much—years of effort getting through the immigration bureaucracy, acceptance into U.S. society, new opportunities to participate in the democratic process, and an improved ability to petition for immediate or close family members. 
It’s also security against deportation. Although green card holders (lawful permanent residents) have a right to remain in the U.S. and work here, they can be removed on various grounds, and are subject to the latest whims of Congress or the federal government. That makes this a particularly important time for citizen seekers to carefully examine their eligibility and avoid mistakes when applying, which this book helps them do.
