U.S citizenship test to take into effect soon. |
USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) said it had formed a naturalization test revision working group in December 2018 with "members from across the agency".
The agency added that it is "soliciting the input of experts in the field of adult education to ensure that this process is fair and transparent."
"Granting U.S citizenship is the highest honor our nation bestows" USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli in a statement.
"Updating, maintaining, and improving a test that is current and relevant is our responsibility as an agency in order to help potential new citizens fully understand the meaning of U.S citizenship and the value that unite all Americans.
Cuccinelli told the Washington Post that the changes will not be major. "Isn't everybody always paranoid that this is used for ulterior purposes?" the immigration hardliner told the outlet on Thursday.
Ofcourse they're going to be disappointed when it just looks like another version of a civics exam. I mean that's pretty much how it's going to look."
USCIS naturalized nearly 752, 000 people in 2018, a five-year high according to the agency.
If it happens you were to take the test tomorrow, you might be asked to name one or two U.S territories or one or two of the rights contained in the Declaration of Independence, and or provide the correct answer if asked the number of amendments to the constitution.
The naturalization test test is simply a journey to becoming an American. According to the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, it is meant not just a measure of U.S civics knowledge, but also a reason to study and absorb the principle, value and functions of the U.S government, including the rights and responsibilities that come with the citizenship.
Some people have contacted the citizenship office with their suggestions, requesting more questions about inventors or scientists; a question about that national park; and maybe something about Mount Rushmore.
Cuccinelli said "Nobody has suggested anything specific to me",.
