Overcome Obstacles to Passing the Citizenship Test FROM DREAM TO REALITY
Passing the test to become a naturalized U.S. citizen poses some daunting hurdles, including demonstrating proficiency in English and a working knowledge of U.S. history, government, and civics. During the English language portion of the test, a U.S. Customs officer asks applicants questions and assesses the answers they provide in English. Applicants are also required to read aloud and write a complete sentence that is read to them, such as “The President lives in the White House.” Many applicants struggle on this portion of the test. Passing requires gaining a working knowledge of the language and being comfortable communicating in English. A skilled immigration attorney can guide clients to language tutors or high-quality study materials to help them acquire the necessary skills. During the civics portion of the test, applicants are quizzed to ensure they understand the principles of U.S. democracy. Questions focus on events from history and citizens’ rights and responsibilities. Sample questions might include, “What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?” or, “The House of Representatives has how many voting members?” The breadth of knowledge required to pass this part of the test can be daunting. A study guide and practice questions recommended by an experienced attorney can help applicants prepare efficiently.
