Getting ready for your citizenship interview can feel overwhelming, but with the right preparation, you’ll walk in confident and ready to succeed! The interview is your opportunity to show the officer that you meet the requirements for U.S. citizenship. It includes three key parts: the civics test, reading, and writing. Let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect.
First, there’s the civics test, which covers U.S. history and government. While it may sound intimidating, here’s the good news: you only need to answer six out of ten questions correctly to pass. The questions come from a list of 100 provided by USCIS. Have you started studying yet? Flashcards, apps, or even practicing with a friend can make it fun and effective. What’s one interesting thing you’ve learned about U.S. history while studying?
Next, there’s the reading and writing portion. For reading, you’ll be given one sentence to read aloud. Practicing with simple sentences in English is a great way to prepare. The writing part requires you to write one sentence, which will be dictated to you. Don’t worry if English isn’t your first language; these sentences are designed to be straightforward. What strategies are you using to improve your English skills?
