Becoming A US Citizen

To help applicants study American government and history, the USCIS published new 100 Civics questions and answers in 2008. These new 100 Civics questions are considered more difficult than the old citizenship questions. Following are the top 5 toughest questions:

What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?
Name one of the American Indian tribes
Name one of the three authors of the Federalist papers.
What is Susan B. Anthony famous for?
Who is the current Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court?

To get your US citizenship, you must pass the Civics test and English test. Civics test is about US Government and US History. During your citizenship interview, the US Citizenship and Immigrant Service (USCIS) officer will ask you to orally answer up to 10 of the 100 civics questions. You must answer at least 6 of the 10 questions correctly to achieve a passing score.
