What Happens if You Fail the Citizenship Test?
Looking for A Specific Post? Search Below
To obtain U.S. citizenship, you must first take a citizenship test. The test includes an English portion, which tests your ability to read, write, and understand English. It also includes a civics test, which will test your knowledge of American history and politics. Of course, the goal is to pass these tests. If you do, you could be approved for United States citizenship that day. If you do not pass the test, it is certainly discouraging, but your situation is not hopeless.
10Options After Failing the Citizenship Test Once
If you failed the citizenship test and the USCIS had no other reason for denying your application, such as a criminal record, they will allow you to take the test again. You must only take the portion of the test you failed. If you failed both tests the first time, you will have to take both tests again.
The test is not taken the same day you failed the first test. The USCIS will send you a notification of your second interview in the mail. The date is typically set within 60 to 90 days of your first interview. This allows you some time to study and practice. To help you study, the USCIS has practice tests you can use.
If you feel 60 to 90 days is not enough time, you can apply for a postponement. You must make the request in writing and provide a reasonable explanation of the reason for postponement. You can also simply not attend the second interview and begin the citizenship application process again. If you choose this option, it is important to contact USCIS and inform them of the fact that you will not attend the second interview. If you do not tell them and miss the interview without good reason, the USCIS will deny your application for citizenship.
Options After Failing the Citizenship Test Twice
Failing the citizenship test for the second time seems hopeless, but it is not. If you take the test a second time and still do not pass, you can ask the USCIS for a hearing. To do this, you must file Form N-336 and include a fee or a fee waiver. At the hearing you can provide a statement if you believe the USCIS wrongfully denied your application or wrongfully failed you after your test.
At the hearing, you will also have to take the test for the third time. If you fail the test again, your application for citizenship will be denied. If you still wish to obtain citizenship, you must study and practice and begin the citizenship process over again.

Huge thanks to Attorney Matthew for his incredible support on our immigration case! 🙏 He was professional, responsive, and his expertise led to a successful outcome. We truly appreciate his hard work and highly recommend his service.
I’m deeply grateful to God for leading us to this law firm; it is a true blessing to work with such professional and passionate individuals.

I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
Highly recommend Jennifer Peyton in federal litigations. She’s very polite and experienced.
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing.

When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
