What language skills are required for the naturalization test?

May 6, 2025 – Lorena Rivas

The naturalization test requires applicants to demonstrate English language proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking unless they qualify for an exception based on age or mental capacity. Candidates must read and write simple sentences in English and engage in a basic conversation with a USCIS officer during the interview, showcasing their ability to understand and communicate in English.

A citizenship lawyer at Rivas & Associates can guide you regarding the steps and preparation for the naturalization process. Schedule a confidential consultation to begin.
