| 2月22日,美國公民和移民服務(wù)局宣布,從3月1日起,將重新采用2008年版本的入籍公民考試。
 1、降低入籍考試難度
 
 公民考試適用于通過入籍申請美國公民身份的申請人。2008年公民考試是在150多個機構(gòu)的參與下,經(jīng)過多年的努力制定出來的,其中包括英語作為第二語言的專家、教育工作者和歷史學家,并在實施前進行了試點。
 
 美國移民局希望按照拜登總統(tǒng)要求徹底審查這一程序的指示,使這一程序盡可能容易進入。
 
	
		
		|  |  
 2020年12月1日,美國移民局實施了修訂后的入籍公民考試(2020公民考試),作為十年一次的考試審查和更新過程的一部分。題庫由原本的100題增至128題,應(yīng)考人也要在20題中答對至少12題才算合格,而不是像以往般,只需10題中答對6題便合格。
 此外試題的標準答案也引起爭議。論者舉例說,其中2條試題分別問到,聯(lián)邦參議員和眾議員各自代表哪些人,答案形容是各州“公民”。
 
 但按照《憲法第14修正案》,每個州的聯(lián)邦眾議員席位取決于州內(nèi)整體人口,并不僅限于公民,沒有將移民排除在外。
 
 此外特朗普時期公民入籍的考試費用也由原來的$640大大增加到了$1160。
 對于在2020年12月1日或之后、2021年3月1日之前提交入籍申請的申請人,美國移民局將給這些申請人提供參加2020年公民考試或2008年公民考試的選擇。將有一個過渡時期,提供這兩種測試。
 
 2、美國公民入籍條件
 
 (1)美國合法永久居民獲得綠卡滿 4 年 9 個月,或配偶是美國公民,本人通過結(jié)婚獲得綠卡滿 2 年 9 個月也可以開始辦理入籍申請手續(xù)。
 
 (2)公民入籍考試是口試,由移民局主考官向申請人提問。如欲用中文面試,申請人必須年滿 50 歲以上,獲得綠卡超過 20 年,或 55 歲以上,獲得綠卡超過 15 年。
 
 3、公民歸化的100道試題與答案
 
 在公民入籍考試中,有些問題的答案會因選舉或任命結(jié)果而改變。當您學習考題時,請務(wù)必確定您知道該類試題的最新答案。
