TENNESSEE, USA — July Fourth is here, a day where we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, solidifying our nation's formation.
For many, it's the day when those poised to become U.S. citizens take the Oath of Allegiance.
So what does it take to become a naturalized U.S. citizen?
First, according to the USCIS website, the person wishing to become a citizen has to apply by completing a naturalization application.
After the USCIS accepts the application, hopefuls have to next go submit their biometrics, including fingerprints, photos and signatures. During this step, the FBI also conducts a background check.
Next comes the naturalization interview, during which an English and civics test is given.
During this step, applicants must correctly answer six of 10 questions (from the list of 100) related to U.S. history, geography and civics.
Sample questions include:
"Who did the United States fight in World War II?"
"Name one state that borders Canada."
"What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?"
"What is one promise you make when you become a U.S. citizen?"
