Obtaining approval of a Naturalization Application is likely to get more difficult.

USCIS has announced multiple changes to the naturalization process, including:

▪️ A revamped Civics Test for applications filed on or after 10/20/25 that demands deeper knowledge of U.S. history and government.

▪️ Potential Neighborhood investigations to verify applicants’ eligibility.

▪️ Expanded scrutiny of good moral character—now potentially requiring proof of positive contributions to society, not just absence of wrongdoing.

▪️ Stricter stances on disqualifying applicants based on false claims to US citizenship, unlawfully voting, or unlawfully registering to vote.

These changes reflect a broader shift toward enforcement and exclusion. If you're planning to naturalize, be prepared for a more rigorous, invasive, and unforgiving process.
