🚨Reminder for citizenship applicants🚨
The naturalization test you are expected to take during your interview depends on on *when* you filed your N-400.
Make sure you’re studying for the correct test and find resources 👉 www.newamericanscampaign.org/start-the-pr...
The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
