Trump Administration Proposes Changes to US Citizenship Exam and Naturalization Process
The Trump administration is considering changes to the US citizenship exam that may introduce new educational standards and allow third parties to administer the test. A formal proposal is expected by late 2026, followed by public comments before finalization. These changes aim to enhance the integrity of the naturalization process and could affect hundreds of thousands of applicants annually, including a significant number of Indian immigrants. The proposal also coincides with efforts to increase denaturalization of individuals accused of obtaining citizenship illegally.
