The citizenship test is a requirement to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Legal permanent residents can take this test 5 years after continuously living in the US, 3 if they are married to a US citizen.
The test evaluates your ability to speak, read and write in English. Also, your knowledge of U.S. history and U.S. civics. The test is composed of an English interview and the civics test.
During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions. They are all taken from this list of 100 questions, which you get the chance to study in advance. You must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to successfully pass the exam.
- If USCIS approves your application for naturalization, you must attend a ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. This meaningful ceremony allows you to become a fully naturalized U.S. citizen.
- You will receive a certificate of naturalization as official proof that you are a U.S. citizen. Consider reviewing your certificate for any errors before leaving the ceremony.
- US citizens enjoy several benefits, including the right to live and work permanently in the United States, get scholarships and grants that are open exclusively to U.S Citizens and help family members immigrate to the United States.
