After years of staying in the United States, many people have the desire to become citizens to obtain certain benefits, such as being able to enter and leave the country more easily and vote. But To obtain citizenship it will be necessary to pass some tests, including an English exam and another on civic education, The good news is that the government itself has a guide to approve.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), from its official YouTube channel, has a series of videos through which it explains How the interview process for naturalization is carried out.
If you comply with the above, you will have to create an account on the Uscis website and, from there, send the N-400 form, or naturalization request, and pay the corresponding fee, which in 2024 is US$710.
If everything is correct, then an appointment will be scheduled to collect your biometric data and, subsequently, You must attend a new interview to take two tests. When you get to that point, Uscis will be able to support you with various resources.
In the first episode of his series of videos that seek to prepare you for your naturalization interview, The agency explains that it will be necessary to take a test to measure your level of English read, spoken and written, as well as knowledge regarding the history and government of the United States.

In the case of the reading test, you will be shown three phases on a tablet that you must read. Finally, for the written test you will be told three sentences out loud that you must write on the tablet and at least one must be correct.
