Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities
Citizenship offers many benefits and equally
important responsibilities.When you
naturalize, you agree to accept all of the
responsibilities of becoming a U.S. citizen.
You agree to support the United States, its
Constitution, and its laws. In return, you gain
all the rights and privileges of citizenship
such as the right to vote and travel with a U.S.
passport.
The Naturalization Test
During your naturalization interview, a USCIS
officer will ask you questions about your
application and background.You will also take
an English and civics test unless you qualify
for an exemption or waiver.
EnglishTest
The English test has three components:
reading, writing, and speaking. For the reading
test, you must read one out of three sentences
correctly to demonstrate an ability to read
in English.There is a reading vocabulary list
on page 28 with all the words found in the
English reading portion of the naturalization
test.
For the writing test, you must write one out
of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an
ability to write in English.There is a writing
4
vocabulary list on page 31 with all the words
found in the English writing portion of the
naturalization test.
Your ability to speak English is determined
by the USCIS officer based on your answers
to questions normally asked during the
naturalization interview.
CivicsTest
The civics test covers important U.S. history
and government topics.There are 100 civics
questions on the naturalization test. During
your naturalization interview, you will be
asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100
questions.You must answer correctly 6 of the
10 questions to pass the civics test.
Retaking the NaturalizationTest
You have two opportunities to take the English
and civics tests per application. If you fail any
portion of the test during your first interview,
you will be retested on the portion of the test
that you failed at a second interview. USCIS
will schedule you to return to be retested
between 60 and 90 days after the date of your
initial interview.
Exceptions
Certain applicants, because of age and time
as a permanent resident, are exempt from
the English requirements for naturalization
and may take the civics test in the language
of their choice. For more information, visit

Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities Citizenship offers many benefits and equally important responsibilities.When you naturalize, you agree to accept all of the responsibilities of becoming a U.S. citizen. You agree to support the United States, its Constitution, and its laws. In return, you gain all the rights and privileges of citizenship such as the right to vote and travel with a U.S. passport. The Naturalization Test During your naturalization interview, a USCIS officer will ask you questions about your application and background.You will also take an English and civics test unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver. EnglishTest The English test has three components: reading, writing, and speaking. For the reading test, you must read one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to read in English.There is a reading vocabulary list on page 28 with all the words found in the English reading portion of the naturalization test. For the writing test, you must write one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English.There is a writing 4 vocabulary list on page 31 with all the words found in the English writing portion of the naturalization test.

USCIS will schedule you to return to be retested between 60 and 90 days after the date of your initial interview. Exceptions Certain applicants, because of age and time as a permanent resident, are exempt from the English requirements for naturalization and may take the civics test in the language of their choice.
