US Citizenship Test Undergoes Major Overhaul with Stricter Requirements

The Trump administration has announced significant changes to the U.S. citizenship test, introducing a more challenging version that includes additional questions and a deeper focus on American history. This move is part of a broader effort to reform the legal immigration process, making it harder for applicants to pass. The updated test will require candidates to demonstrate a stronger commitment to understanding American values and history. Federal immigration officials have emphasized that these changes are aimed at ensuring that new citizens are thoroughly vetted and truly committed to the American way of life. As a result, many green card holders may face increased difficulty in obtaining citizenship, with concerns that the revised test could discourage applicants.
