Naturalization Test Redesign January-12-2023
Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, 2–3 p.m. Eastern
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites you to participate in a national engagement on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern, to learn more about a nationwide trial for the naturalization test redesign initiative.
USCIS announced that we will conduct a nationwide trial of test changes, as part of a naturalization test redesign initiative. The trial test will include proposed changes to the English-speaking portion of the test and updates to the content and format of the civics test. We are developing the trial test for the naturalization test redesign initiative in response to stakeholder feedback about the standardization and structure of the naturalization test. The naturalization test redesign initiative will make the test more meaningful for applicants and is consistent with the framework of Executive Order 14012, Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans, which directs a comprehensive review of the naturalization process to eliminate barriers and make the process more accessible to all eligible individuals. We may use the results of the trial test to support changes to the naturalization test.
During the first part of the engagement, we will give an overview of the proposed changes, provide the trial testing parameters and explain the volunteer process for trial testing opportunities. During the second part of the engagement, we will respond to questions and hold a listening session to hear your comments and feedback on all aspects of the trial testing process. We also invite you to email comments on the trial testing to natzredesign22@uscis.dhs.gov.
USCIS is committed to public engagement, and sessions such as these provide us with valuable feedback as we work to improve our programs.
