Immigration lawyer in Woburn, MA, Dayna Lally, recently represented an individual at a naturalization interview at the USCIS Lawrence Field Office.
During the interview, the applicant was asked the following Civics (History and Government) questions from the 2008 version of the naturalization test:
- Who is one of your state’s U.S. Senators now?
- Who is in charge of the executive branch?
- What happened at the Constitutional Convention?
- Name one of the two longest rivers in the United States.
- Name one branch or part of the government.
- Who was the first President?
Since the applicant correctly answered six (6) questions, the USCIS field officer did not need to ask the remaining four (4) questions.
For the English portion of the naturalization test, the applicant was asked to read and write the following in English:
Read: Where is the White House?
Write: The White House is in Washington, D.C.
