Hi. Being a longtime permanent resident of the US I wish to finally
begin the process of applying for citizenship. Part of the reason I
have delayed starting the process before now is my fear, rightly or
wrongly, of the lengthy paperwork involved. Not wishing to start a
flame war here, but are groups such as "www.uscitizenship.info", which
charge a fee for online form assistance, worth using to make the
application process a little easier and for form checking?

Thanks for reading.

No, I don't recommend using any "service" for doing this. If you feel you need assistance, hire a competent immigration attorney.

However, many, many people file the naturalization paperwork themselves. It's only one form (N-400) and some supporting documents. It seems to me to be the most straightforward part of the whole immigration journey.

Best Wishes,
Rene

Applying for citizenship is perhaps the easiest part of the entire immigration journey. It is very straightforward... one form, some supporting documents, an *easy* interview, and that's it. The government wants you as a US citizen, they will make it fairly easy for you to become one. I did all the paperwork myself - as did many others in this forum. It's a fairly straightforward process... and we're here to help answer your questions.

Thank you both for replying. You have been quite helpful. Apologies
for the duplicate posting; I tried to catch/correct the mispelling of
"reading" as the first one was being posted.

Go for it! this is a slam dunk process for most brits. took me about 6 months from filing to the oath. after the biometrics they will give you a cd and booklet for the citizenship test, its history and politics of the USA. make up some flash cards, test yourself each day and listen to the CD, there is about 25 minutes of questionand answers on the CD, i listened to my cd everyday for 1 month solid whilst driving to and from work. (i still got one wrong in the interview because i was nervous) good luck!
