How to Become an American Citizen by the Law

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6...

One of the requirements for U.S. citizenship through naturalization is to take the naturalization test to demonstrate that you are able to read, write, and speak basic English and that you have a basic knowledge of U.S. history and government (also known as "civics").

Once you have completed and submitted your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and you have had your fingerprints taken at a USCIS facility, you will receive an appointment for an interview. At your naturalization interview, you will be required to answer questions about your application and background. You will also take an English and civics test unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver.

English & Civics
During your interview, a USCIS officer will test your ability to read, write, and speak English and your knowledge of civics. You must read one sentence out of three sentences correctly in English, and you must write one sentence out of three sentences correctly in English. Your ability to speak English is determined during your interview on your naturalization application. Finally, you must answer 6 out of 10 civics questions correctly to achieve a passing score.

You will be given two opportunities to take the English and civics tests and to answer all questions relating to your naturalization application in English. If you fail any of the tests at your initial interview, you will be retested on the portion of the test that you failed (English or civics) between 60 and 90 days from the date of your initial interview. See 8 CFR 312.5(a) and 335.3(b).

If You Don't Pass
If an applicant fails the English and/or civics test during the first examination, the applicant will be required to take the same version of the test, old or new, when the applicant is retested, even if the retest is scheduled on or after October 1, 2009.

Study Materials
We have developed a variety of study materials to help you learn more about U.S. civics (history and government) as you prepare for the naturalization test. See the "Study Materials for the Naturalization Test" link to the right.

Exemptions from English & Civics Requirements
For information on exceptions or modifications to the English and civics requirements for naturalization, see the "Exceptions & Accommodations" link under "Citizenship by Naturalization" to the left

[MrDaleaaaa]

our government should take this test and pass it to be in the government .you say that you have to doall of that or you shouldn't be a ciotizen .did you do that you sound like you were born here .i don't think that should make you a citizen .and i think that conducted unbecoming of an american should remove your citiuzenship .that by itself would just about kick the hole government out of the country as brakinfg the oath seams to be a requirment to be in government

@MrDaleaaaa I am sorry the education system is not teaching history of the Consititution and Bill of Rights and of American history any longer. I memerized all of our history using books dated before 1950's and study Consititutional laws. Our government should be required to know and follow the Consitituion and Bill of Rights before being considered a politician for office. We have colleges that teach Marxism and Socialism instead and wonder why our government can't run the country.

and im age 16, i'll be 18 next year and 17 this year, im moving to go live with my girlfriend and i have parental permission but idk how to get legalized if my parents aren't comming, some help please? z:

[jakedamouse]

it says live there 3 years, 5 years if married then it says the same thing again but vise versa 3 years if married 5 years living there, what is it?

[bradleybrand]

I have a question. You can have multiple citizenship's, would I have to live out there 3-5 years if I want to have an American citizenship with my British citizenship?

[cnpitts]

You share propaganda and ignore simple truths about obstacles faced. I am a bit confused why you would buy directly into a video produced by the U.S, government as 100% reliable. While at the same time, you likely subscribe to the "Birther" ideology that questions President Obama's citizenship. I imagine you wearing a tinfoil hat.
