Everything you need for the Virginia-specific questions on your USCIS naturalization interview — plus AI-powered mock interview practice for the rest of the civics test, N-400, reading, and writing.
Last verified June 2026. Governors and Senators can change after an election — always confirm close to your interview date.
Four questions on the official USCIS civics test depend on where you live: your U.S. Senators, your U.S. Representative, your Governor, and your state capital. If you live in Virginia, the Old Dominion, these are the exact current answers USCIS officers expect.
You only need to name one of your two U.S. Senators — either Mark Warner or Tim Kaine is a correct answer. Your U.S. Representative is different: it depends on your specific congressional district within Virginia, not the state as a whole, so look up your own representative using your home address before the interview.
Reading the answers is a start — but the real USCIS interview happens out loud, under pressure, in a conversation. Immigration Interviews lets you practice with an AI officer that asks these Virginia questions (and the other 96–124 civics questions, your N-400, reading, and writing) the same way a real USCIS officer would — and gives you a personal evaluation afterward.
