American Government · Rights and Responsibilities65/20 special consideration question
Accepted answer(s)
- eighteen (18) and older
USCIS officers ask this on the 2008 Civics Test because understanding "american government" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "eighteen (18) and older" is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.
This is question 54 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
