USCIS released what foreigners can expect during US citizenship interviews, including a required English and civics test for all N-400 applicants. Applicants must meet a USCIS officer, answer personal background questions, and demonstrate English reading, writing, speaking, plus knowledge of US history and government. Those filing from October 20, 2025, face the revised 2025 civics test. Earlier filings use the 2008 civics test; the 2025 version includes modifications tied to Executive Order 14161. Homeland Security also proposed new educational standards and third-party test administration.
