Citizenship Class

One of the requirements for U.S. citizenship through naturalization is to take the naturalization test. During your interview, a USCIS officer will test your ability to read, write, and speak English and your knowledge of civics, U.S. history and government. You must answer 6 out of 10 civics questions correctly to achieve a passing score.

The RTH citizenship class runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 pm. to 4:00 pm.  This class prepares students for the naturalization process and the English and Civics tests. It will clarify the entire process and has helped many RTH residents obtain their citizenship.
