Biden Administration Action
April 19, 2021Beginning on April 19, 2021, USCIS is administering only the 2008 version of the civics test to naturalization applicants at their initial interview appointment, regardless of their filing date. USCIS will no longer offer the 2020 civics test at the initial interview. Applicants may be eligible to choose between the 2008 or 2020 test at their re-exam or N-336 hearing, so 2020 study materials remain available.
