MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. – The 5th Bomb Wing legal office at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, has revived a valuable resource for service members and their families: the Citizenship and Immigration workshop. Originally initiated by Staff Sgt. Jessica Ramsey, this seminar provides crucial information and support for those navigating the often complex process of U.S. citizenship and immigration. The class is currently being facilitated by Mariana Soto, a civil law legal assistant at the 5BW legal office.
“I have gone through the naturalization process myself,” said Soto. “I wanted to take over the Immigration and Naturalization workshop to also help any military members or dependents navigating a sometimes difficult process.”
Soto is dedicated to continuing the workshop and making it as accessible and informative as possible. The class serves as a resource for both military personnel and their families, offering guidance on various legal aspects of immigration and citizenship covering topics such as how to apply for citizenship and its requirements. The 5BW legal office has also been corresponding with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to further improve the reliability of the seminar and to provide more information and resources to its participants.
“The workshop has been incredibly helpful,” says Christian Steinborn, military spouse. “It clarified many aspects of the process that I was unsure about. It also provided valuable resources that I wasn’t aware of previously.”
The workshop not only serves as a practical educational tool, but also fosters a sense of community among the personnel at Minot AFB. The seminar provides an opportunity to meet with legal professionals, ask questions, and learn about their rights and responsibilities in a supportive environment. By reviving this class, the 5BW legal office is ensuring military families are equipped with the resources they need to make informed decisions about their citizenship and immigration paths. This ongoing effort reflects the commitment of Minot AFB to support the diverse needs of its service members and their families.
The next class is scheduled to be held on December 11, 2024 and will be held quarterly going into the new year. The 5BW legal office can be reached at 5bw.ja.civillaw@us.af.mil and (701) 723-3026 for registration or questions.
