US Resumes Neighborhood Checks for Green Card Holders

US Resumes Neighborhood Checks for Green Card Holders

The US government is starting to check up on people who want to become citizens, even if they already have a green card.

This involves asking people who know the applicant, like neighbors and coworkers, for information.

The government used to do this, then stopped, but now it's starting again to make sure everyone is eligible.

They might ask for letters from people who know the applicant well.

If someone doesn't provide this information, the government may do a neighborhood investigation.

This aims to verify that people meet the necessary requirements to become US citizens.
