Important Updates Regarding the 2020 Version of the Civics Test

On Dec. 1, 2020, USCIS implemented a revised version of the civics test for naturalization (2020 civics test). Due to recent policy changes, some applicants required to take the 2020 civics test may now have a choice to take the 2020 test or the 2008 civics test. Please note that beginning on April 19, 2021, USCIS will only offer the 2008 civics test at the initial interview appointment regardless of the filing date.

For more information, visit The 2020 Version of the Civics Test page.

You can learn more about the revisions to the 2008 civics test (2020 civics test) and the subsequent reversion back to the 2008 civics test on our blog.

Your Dream Your Future

Aside from the tangible benefits of U.S. citizenship, the swearing-in ceremony is an important and moving moment for anyone seeking citizenship. For many, it represents the culmination of a goal and a dream to become a United States citizen. Many come from countries with oppressive leadership and do not have the rights and benefits that the United States provides. Our reward as immigration counsel is helping to make those dreams come true.
