The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted a Federal Register notice announcing that 28 more questions were added to the naturalization test.

"One of many steps in an ongoing effort to restore integrity to the naturalization process and meet congressional intent," USCIS said.

Foreigners who want to become U.S. citizens must "write and speak English and understand U.S. government and civics," the agency said in a statement.

Originally, the civic test had 100 questions, and with the 28 questions added, it now has a total of 128.

During his first term, President Donald Trump updated the 2008 version from 100 to 128 questions and increased the difficulty.

However, in 2021, former President Joe Biden suspended the 2020 exam and reverted to the 2008 format to ease the naturalization process.

The civic exam for U.S. citizenship was created in 2008 during the administration of President George W. Bush.

Additionally, more changes are expected in the future, "in the coming weeks and months, USCIS will announce other initiatives to further enhance the integrity of the naturalization process," the agency said.

According to the release, USCIS has already announced several changes this year, including restoring robust vetting and stricter reviews of disability exceptions to the English and civics requirements.
