The Office of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) seeks to implement changes in the naturalization test , especially in the civic and English proficiency parts.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS ) today published a notice in the Federal Register about the pilot plan that would serve to modify the existing naturalization test.
The test is made up of four sections: reading, writing, civics, and English speaking ability.
“The reading and writing portions of the naturalization test are standard,” she reminded herself. “The purposes of the test are to test a civics component with updated format and content and a newly developed English-speaking component that could become standard”.
USCIS experts reviewed the current exam, following the Executive Order of the President Joe Biden on improvements and accessibility to immigration services.
The specialists’ recommendation is to redesign the oral expression and civic education test, to improve the test standards.
USCIS affirms that these revisions are consistent with the comments it has received from multiple external stakeholder groups.
“The naturalization test is a key step in becoming a US citizen,” said USCIS Director, Ur M. Jaddou . “We welcome feedback and participation from stakeholders familiar with this important process, as we continue to improve and update our naturalization test, ensuring it is consistent with industry testing standards.”
Any update that the immigration agency Take the test will be based on feedback from stakeholders on the standardization and structure of the naturalization test, it was indicated.
USCIS will carry out the pilot with the help of community-based voluntary organizations (CBOs) that work with immigrant English language learners and legal permanent residents preparing for naturalization.
In total, 1 will be searched, 800 persons enrolled in adult education classes to take the citizenship test-
“The agency may use the results of the judgment to support changes in the naturalization test” was narrowed.
