Take a Sample Immigration Quiz

Beginning on December 1, 2020, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is implementing a revised Civics test for legal, permanent residents to take as part of their efforts to become naturalized citizens.

This sample quiz includes 20 of those questions.

In a news release the agency said the civics test is administered to applicants who apply for U.S. citizenship and is one of the statutory requirements for naturalizing. Applicants who apply for naturalization on or after Dec. 1, 2020, will take the updated version of the test. Those who apply before Dec. 1, 2020, will take the current version of the test.

Candidates must answer 12 questions correctly, out of 20 in order to pass.

New U.S. Citizens Celebrated in Harpers Ferry

The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park played host to a naturalization ceremony Tuesday morning for 19 new U.S. citizens.

About 50 people attended the ceremony celebrating the new U.S.—and West Virginia—citizens.

Jose Luis Gil Zambrano – an adjunct math professor at Shepherd University – was one of those nineteen. He and his wife moved to the United States from Venezuela about seven years ago to be near their son who lives in Virginia, but they chose to live in Martinsburg because he says it felt more like home.

“I like this place, you know, when I talk about this state, I feel very happy, because, I don’t know, I mean, I feel the people here are very warm,” Zambrano said.

The other 18 new citizens originate from 9 other countries, including Bangladesh, India, Liberia, and Mexico.

Harpers Ferry National Historical Park has hosted naturalization ceremonies since 2013. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services says they welcome over 750,000 new citizens to the U.S. each year.
