Wilsons’s Law Firm Immigration News & Policy

Naturalization

Updates on the path to U.S. citizenship, including N-400 processing, the civics test, and oath ceremonies.

Naturalization Applicants: Current Civics Test and Interview Expectations

USCIS continues to administer the 2008 version of the civics test: officers ask up to ten questions from the published list of 100, and applicants must answer six correctly. Study materials are free on the USCIS website. Applicants should also bring updated travel records and tax documentation to the interview, as officers routinely review both.

N-400 Processing Times Improve; File the Current Form Edition

Median processing times for naturalization applications have improved at many field offices, with some completing cases in under six months. Applicants should confirm they are using the current edition of Form N-400, respond promptly to any evidence requests, and keep travel abroad limited while the application is pending to preserve continuous residence.
