美国移民局恢复为2008年版本的入籍公民入籍考试!
发布日期

美国移民局服务部今天宣布,将从2021年3月1日开始,恢复2008年版本的入籍公民考试。
2020年12月1日,USCIS实施了修订的入籍公民测试(2020公民测试),作为十年期测试审查和更新过程的一部分。美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)确定2020年公民测试的开发过程,内容,测试程序和实施时间表可能会无意中为入籍过程造成潜在障碍。该行动与《关于在我们的合法移民系统中恢复信仰的行政命令》框架相一致,该命令指导对入籍程序进行全面审查,以消除障碍,并使所有合格个人都可以更轻松地访问该程序。
2008年的公民测验经过多年发展,经过150多个组织的广泛参与,其中包括英语作为第二语言的专家,教育家和历史学家,并在实施之前进行了试点。美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)希望按照拜登总统(Biden)要求彻底审查该程序的要求,尽可能简化该程序。
公民考试适用于通过入籍申请美国国籍的申请人,这是入籍的法定要求之一。申请人必须证明对美国历史,原则和政府形式的基本知识和理解。入籍的决定表明了对该国的投资和承诺。美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)致力于管理作为公民学习工具的考试,并在考试准备过程中促进公民融合。
在2020年12月1日或之后以及2021年3月1日之前提交入籍申请的申请人可能正在研究2020年测试;因此,USCIS将为这些申请人提供参加2020年公民测试或2008年公民测试的选择。这将提供两个测试的过渡期。面向初试者的2020年考试将于2021年4月19日淘汰。在2021年3月1日当天或之后提交的申请者将参加2008年公民测试。
测试项目和学习指南可在USCIS网站的公民资源中心找到。美国公民及移民服务局还相应地更新了政策手册(PDF,444.11 KB);请参阅第12卷E部分,英语和公民测试和例外,第2章,英语和公民测试。

USCIS Reverts to the 2008 Version of the Naturalization Civics Test
WASHINGTON— U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced today it is reverting to the 2008 version of the naturalization civics test beginning March 1, 2021.
On Dec. 1, 2020, USCIS implemented a revised naturalization civics test (2020 civics test) as part of a decennial test review and update process. USCIS determined the 2020 civics test development process, content, testing procedures, and implementation schedule may inadvertently create potential barriers to the naturalization process. This action is consistent with the framework of the Executive Order on Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems, which directs a comprehensive review of the naturalization process to eliminate barriers and make the process more accessible to all eligible individuals.
The 2008 civics test was thoroughly developed over a multi-year period with the input of more than 150 organizations, which included English as a second language experts, educators, and historians, and was piloted before its implementation. USCIS aspires to make the process as accessible as possible as directed by President Biden’s request to review the process thoroughly.
The civics test is administered to applicants who apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization and is one of the statutory requirements for naturalizing. Applicants must demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, principles, and form of government of the United States. The decision to naturalize demonstrates an investment in and commitment to this country. USCIS is committed to administering a test that is an instrument of civic learning and fosters civic integration as part of the test preparation process.
Applicants who filed their application for naturalization on or after Dec. 1, 2020, and before March 1, 2021, likely have been studying for the 2020 test; therefore, USCIS will give these applicants the option to take either the 2020 civics test or the 2008 civics test. There will be a transition period where both tests are being offered. The 2020 test will be phased out on April 19, 2021, for initial test takers. Applicants filing on or after March 1, 2021, will take the 2008 civics test.
The test items and study guides can be found on the Citizenship Resource Center on the USCIS website. USCIS has also updated the Policy Manual (PDF, 444.11 KB) accordingly; see Volume 12, Part E, English and Civics Testing and Exceptions, Chapter 2, English and Civics Testing.
