Question 23 of 128 American Government
Who is one of your state’s U.S. senators now?
Answers USCIS accepts
- Answers will vary.
USCIS note: District of Columbia residents and residents of U.S. territories should answer that D.C. (or the territory where the applicant lives) has no U.S. senators.
The answer depends on the state where you live. Name one of your state’s two current U.S. senators.
This answer changes. You must give the name of the person in office on the day of your interview. Check it just before: senate.gov
What it means
Every state has two senators, so the correct name depends on your state and can change after elections. Look up your senators on senate.gov before your interview.
If you live in Washington, D.C. or a U.S. territory, the correct answer is that D.C. (or your territory) has no U.S. senators.
Memory tip: Learn one senator’s full name and practice saying it out loud.
