From the first eligibility question to federal court, The Naturalization Practice Guide is the working desk reference for professionals who handle U.S. citizenship cases — not just the straightforward ones, but the difficult ones that other guides leave out.

It walks through every stage of the process in plain language: who qualifies, how to prepare and file Form N-400, what really happens at the interview, and what to expect at the oath. Then it goes where most books won’t — into the hard cases that decide real outcomes.

Inside this fully revised Second Edition:

Eligibility made clear — the five-year and three-year rules, continuous residence, physical presence, good moral character, and attachment to the Constitution
A practical walkthrough of the N-400 and the naturalization interview
The English and civics requirements — updated for the 2025 civics test — plus the age and disability exceptions and military naturalization
The difficult cases: DUIs, drug and domestic-violence charges, taxes and child support, long absences, arrests and expungements, false claims, unlawful voting, fraud and misrepresentation, security and communism bars, and prior removal proceedings
Waivers, N-336 administrative appeals, mandamus and � 1447(b) delay suits, and de novo review in federal court
Working tools: document and interview checklists, a residency calculator, and a complete directory of official USCIS resources

Every chapter pairs clear explanation with statutory citations, real-world examples, and an attorney’s practice tips — so you can find a reliable, current answer in the middle of a case.

Written for immigration attorneys, paralegals, accredited representatives, and the nonprofit and community professionals who guide applicants every day, it’s thorough enough for the specialist and clear enough for anyone new to naturalization practice. Fully revised and expanded, this edition reflects current USCIS policy and today’s enforcement landscape.

When the case gets hard, this is the guide that keeps going.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
