Built by an immigration attorney who has sat in the room.
CitizenshipPASS exists because the people who most need good preparation are the ones least able to pay a lawyer to give it to them one-on-one.
Hey, I'm Stephen.
I am Stephen M. NeSmith, Jr., an immigration attorney with NeSmith & NeSmith, P.C. in Montgomery, Alabama. For years my practice has included preparing clients for the naturalization interview — going over the civics questions, practicing the English test, and, most of all, going through their applications line by line so that nothing surprises them in the room.
Here is what I learned: the people who struggle usually do not struggle because they are not smart or did not study. They struggle because nobody explained what the officer was really asking, or because an eligibility problem that should have been caught a year earlier came up for the first time at the interview.
Most families cannot afford to hire a lawyer just to prepare for the test. So I built the preparation I give my own clients into a course anyone can take, in English and in Spanish, with plans starting at $97.
I recorded every lesson myself. If you enroll, it is my voice you will hear — and if you book an attorney consultation, it is me you will talk to.
Three promises
Plain language
If a lesson needs a law degree to understand, we rewrote it. Every concept is explained the way you would explain it to a friend at the kitchen table.
Both languages, equal quality
The Spanish version is not a translation tacked on at the end. Every lesson was recorded in Spanish with the same care as the English.
Honesty about limits
A course can teach the test. It cannot tell you whether you qualify. When your situation needs a lawyer, we say so — and we make it affordable to talk to one.
The company in brief
What we do
CitizenshipPASS LLC publishes an online preparation course for the U.S. naturalization test and interview, in English and Spanish. Limited-scope attorney consultations and N-400 reviews for applicants who want a lawyer to look at their case before they file are provided separately by NeSmith & NeSmith, P.C.
What we are not
We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with USCIS. We are not a “notario” or document-preparation service. The course is educational; legal services are provided only by a licensed attorney under a written engagement.
