US Citizenship Naturalization Interview
USCIS begins using digital tablets during US citizenship interviews. Digital tablets will be used
to administer the English reading and writing tests. Immigration officers will be able to continue using the paper process on a case-by-case basis.
While the eligibility requirements and the subject material of the naturalization test have not changed, applicants are now using a stylus on a digital tablet instead of a paper application.
For the reading test, a sentence will appear on the tablet and the ISO will ask the applicant to read it.
For the writing test, several lines will appear on the tablet, replicating the appearance of a piece of blank paper. The officer will read a sentence aloud and ask the applicant to write it on the tablet.
Applicants will continue to take the civics test verbally, without the tablet.
