The NYFPC will hosted this briefing ahead of July 4th, Independence Day, to brief journalists on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recent partnership with the City of New York to establish “New American Corners” in the 217 library branches in Brooklyn, New York, and Queens. Each “Corner” will provide recent immigrants with access to information and resources about citizenship, financial empowerment, and entrepreneurship.
New York is USCIS’ fifth municipal partner to implement a citizenship education and awareness program. As the largest city in the United States, New York is home to immigrants from more than 190 countries. Since 2004, more than 1.1 million permanent residents have become U.S. citizens in the New York City metropolitan area.
