Niagara Falls Citizenship Attorney

Adequately preparing for the citizenship test should not be taken lightly. Many booklets, study guides, and websites offer study tools for the citizenship test, and some associations offer counseling and study courses. At Berger Berger & Slepian, a Niagara Falls citizenship attorney can advise you about any risks in using such resources.

Citizenship preparation tools available

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offers comprehensive preparation tools for a citizenship test, which are free and include:

• A video of the naturalization process
• A video providing an overview to the test and naturalization process
• A video explaining the naturalization eligibility requirements
• English vocabulary flash cards for the reading section of the test
• English vocabulary flash cards for the writing section of the test
• A vocabulary list for the reading section
• A study booklet containing civics questions for the civics test

Our citizenship test page describes the skills being test, the test format, and how the test is administered.

What if you fail the citizenship test?

If you fail your first attempt at taking the citizenship test, USCIS gives you another chance within 90 days to pass the parts of the test that you failed. You are re-examined only on what you failed. However, if you fail a second time, your citizenship application is denied.

Legal help from a Niagara Falls citizenship lawyer for appealing denials

If your citizenship application is denied, USCIS informs you of the reason why and how to appeal the decision. A Niagara Falls citizenship attorney at Berger Berger & Slepian can help you appeal a denied citizenship application. A Form N-336 is used to appeal your denial, and the form must be filed within 30 days of the date your application was denied along with the appropriate filing fee. A USCIS hearing is held to review your appeal. If your application is denied again, you have the right to appeal to the U.S. District Court.
