Question 23 of 128
Who is one of your state’s U.S. senators now?
Official USCIS answers
- Answers will vary. [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.]
Your answer depends on where you live. Set your state and we'll check it for you.
Why this is the answer
U.S. senators are elected by each state, not by the whole country, so the correct names depend on where you live. If you live in D.C. or a U.S. territory, the official answer is that you have no U.S. senators.
💡 Memory tip: Two per state: memorize your two senators’ last names.
