The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Immigration Service (USCIS) said the number of questions and scope of questions required to be accepted to naturalize in the U.S. will increase from mid-October.
The test is a method in which a naturalization interviewer selects a question from a problem bank and the naturalization applicant answers a short answer.
The question is a basic question about “history and government” in the United States, and multiple answers are often possible.
According to a notice published in the Federal Register on the 18th, DHS and USCIS will eliminate the current “2008” test and revive the “2020” test, which has been implemented for the past five months and has been abolished.
The number of bank questions for the 2020 edition of the exam is 128, which is more than the 100 in the 2008 edition, and the scope of study will be expanded.
Examples include the 10th Amendment, which states that “power not explicitly granted to the federal government under the Constitution and not prohibited by states is reserved to individual states or people,” and the Federalist Essay, which is important in the history of the U.S. Constitution, and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and American innovation.
The 2008 edition will be accepted if you get more than 6 out of 10 questions right, but the 2020 edition will have to get 12 out of 20 questions right.
USCIS told CBS News that the reintroduction of the 2020 edition of the trial will help naturalized citizens “fully assimilate and contribute to American greatness.”
