The Value of Citizenship
"The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants from all parts of the world. America values the contributions of immigrants who continue to enrich this country and preserve its legacy as a land of freedom and opportunity." (USCIS)
Deciding to become a U.S. citizen is one of the most important decisions in an individual's life. If your student decides to apply to become a U.S. citizen, you should acquaint them with the USCIS website where they can obtain forms, test materials, and costs involved.
The Citizenship Test
The actual civics test is NOT a multiple choice test. During the naturalization interview, a USCIS officer will ask up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions in English. The applicant must answer correctly 6 of the 10 questions to pass the civics test.
