Naturalization Civics Test Wednesday, March 3 | 3:30 - 4:30pm Eastern

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites you to
participate in a webinar on Wednesday*, March 3**, *2021, from
3:30 *to *4:30 *p.m. Eastern. *

On Dec. 1, 2020, USCIS implemented a revised naturalization civics test
(2020 civics test) as part of a decennial test review and update process.
On March 1, 2021, USCIS will revert to the 2008 version of the civics test.
USCIS determined the 2020 civics test content, testing procedures, and
implementation schedule may inadvertently create potential barriers to the
naturalization process. This action is consistent with the framework
of the Executive
Order on Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems

which directs a comprehensive review of the naturalization process to
eliminate barriers and make the process more accessible to all eligible
individuals. There will be a brief transition period when both versions of
the civics test will be offered.

Subject matter experts will give an overview of the both the 2008 and 2020
versions of the naturalization civics test, emphasizing the different
features of each test and which version of the civics test an applicant
will need to take, based on the filing date (also known as a received date)
and the initial examination (interview) date. Experts will also share an
overview of online test preparation materials and educator resources. We
will end with a question-and-answer session to address non case-specific
questions.
