As an organization of immigration attorneys, members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) have helped countless immigrants take the final steps on the path to citizenship. Twenty years ago, AILA itself began organizing and holding special Citizenship Day clinics through our chapters across the country.  

This year, on and around September 20, 2025, AILA members and community partners will come together again to light the path and provide guidance and support to eligible lawful permanent residents as they move one step closer to becoming U.S. citizens.  

AILA’s 27 participating chapters will do more than just offer a time and a place to get help preparing a naturalization application. They will build trust, strengthen partnerships, and foster community
