New Naturalization Test Almost Here

By Robert Kraft (all)

Upon satisfying certain requirements, lawful permanent residents of the United States may file applications for naturalization allowing them to become U.S. citizens. One of the requirements is that the applicant have knowledge of the English language, and knowledge of U.S history and government (civics).  

Effective October 1, 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin administering a new naturalization examination. The new test will follow the same format as the old test, which essentially asks ten questions. Six of the questions must be answered correctly. The only difference is that the reading and writing portions of the new test will be related to the civics content rather than to everyday English. Individuals who filed their naturalization applications before October 1, 2008, may chose to be given the old test — as long as the examination interview (test day) is scheduled before October 1, 2009. See www.uscis.gov/newtest to view the new test questions.
