USCIS Revises Guidance on Naturalization Civics Educational Requirement

Effective March 1, 2021, USCIS will revert to administering the 2008 civics test to naturalization applicants. Those who filed for naturalization before December 1, 2020, or who will file on or after March 1, 2021, will take the 2008 version of the test. Naturalization applicants who filed on or after December 1, 2020, and before March 1, 2021, will be given the option to take either the 2020 or the 2008 version.

Military.com reports on USCIS’s announcement that the number of places overseas where noncitizen service members and their families can be naturalized will be cut from 23 to four due to the agency’s closures of international offices. Noncitizen service members will now have to apply for naturalization at four overseas military bases or “hubs,” and USCIS officers will travel to each hub every quarter to provide naturalization services.

Naturalization meaning

Naturalization certificate

Our client’s date of birth was incorrect on his naturalization certificate and passport and for years he unsuccessfully tried to correct this error with Immigration, the Department of State, the IRS and the Social Security Administration.  When our office was retained, we filed a lawsuit against Immigration in federal court to force them to amend our client’s naturalization certificate.  Within months of filing, our client received his correct certificate in the mail.

Another win for the Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner

N-400 denied because Client supposedly did not submit certain convictions documents requested in an RFE. Client had a mail fraud and a DV conviction. However, the requested documents did not exist and the convictions were well outside the statutory period for good moral character. Nevertheless, N-400 was denied. N-336 was timely filed and USCIS issued another RFE. Documents were submitted and N-336 granted.
