Em dezembro de 2022, o Departamento de Segurança Interna publicou um aviso anunciando que a USCIS (Serviço de Cidadania e Imigração dos Estados Unidos) conduziria um teste para atualizar o atual exame de naturalização, que consiste em quatro elementos: leitura, escrita, conhecimento cívico e habilidade de falar inglês. As partes de Leitura e Escrita foram padronizadas, mas o propósito do teste é avaliar o componente cívico com formato e conteúdo atualizados, bem como desenvolver um novo componente de fala em inglês que poderia se tornar o novo padrão.
Isso é uma resposta direta à Ordem Executiva
do Presidente Biden chamada Restaurando a Confiança em Nosso Sistema de Imigração Legal e Fortalecendo os Esforços de Integração e Inclusão para Novos Americanos. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/02/02/executive-order-restoring-faith-in-our-legal-immigration-systems-and-strengthening-integration-and-inclusion-efforts-for-new-americans/
Esta Ordem Executiva inclui uma diretriz para revisar o processo de naturalização, então a USCIS tem conduzido revisões para melhorar e atualizar o exame de naturalização para que ele esteja em conformidade com padrões da indústria.
O teste está provisoriamente agendado para um período de cinco meses em 2023 e será avaliado com a ajuda de organizações comunitárias voluntárias que trabalharão com imigrantes que estão aprendendo a língua inglesa e residentes permanentes legais que se preparam para a naturalização. A USCIS procurará cerca de 1.500 indivíduos matriculados em aulas de educação de adultos para fazer o teste do exame e a agência poderá usar os resultados deste teste para apoiar mudanças no exame de naturalização.
