LAWS AND UPDATES YOU NEED TO KNOW
In September 2007, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) announced its intention to implement a redesigned naturalization test to assess the English-language and civics proficiency of applicants for U.S. citizenship. The agency will start administering the test to applicants on October 1, 2008. Between October 1, 2008 and October 1, 2009, certain applicants can choose between taking the current test and the new redesigned test.* 
Starting in October 1, 2009, the new examination will be the only one available for applicants.
