CLINIC, the Citizenship Test Working Group (CTWG), and more than 120 national, state, and local organizations and educators recently submitted a letter requesting that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) halt the implementation of the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test in order for USCIS to have a proper notice and comment period — as established under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) for stakeholder input and to adequately prepare impacted communities for any test changes. The revised naturalization test poses significant challenges — particularly for individuals with low literacy, limited financial resources, lack of access to preparation materials, and older applicants who may find the increased complexity difficult to navigate. This letter addresses our serious concerns regarding the sudden overhaul of the citizenship test, especially in the context of broader policy changes that will make it harder for eligible communities to access naturalization. The letter also recommends that USCIS should postpone the implementation until a pilot test following best practices on test design — including a larger sample size — would rule out any negative consequences in the broader legal permanent resident population that are eligible to naturalize.
