U.S. Citizenship Services implements modifications to the naturalization examination
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced significant changes to the U.S. citizenship test, making it more challenging for applicants. The updates were revealed on Wednesday, marking the first of many changes, according to USCIS Spokesperson Matthew Tragesser.
Under the new rules, applicants will be required to correctly answer 12 out of 20 questions about U.S. history and politics. This represents a shift from the previous requirement of answering only 6 out of 10 questions correctly. To prepare for the test, applicants must study 128 questions that have been made available by the USCIS.
In addition to the changes in the test content, applicants must also demonstrate their ability to read, write, and speak English. This language requirement is a consistent part of the citizenship test process.
It's important to note that these changes revert to a 2020 exam from President Trump's first administration. The USCIS had previously implemented changes in 2020, but these changes were later rolled back.
Applicants for U.S. citizenship are required to demonstrate that they have lived in the U.S. lawfully for three to five years. This requirement remains unchanged by the recent announcement.
The USCIS first announced changes to the U.S. citizenship test process in 2020. The updates aim to ensure that new citizens have a deeper understanding of the country's history and government. While the changes may present a challenge for some applicants, they are designed to uphold the importance and significance of U.S. citizenship.
