Question 61 of 128 ★ 65/20
Who is the governor of your state now?
Official USCIS answers
- Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. does not have a governor.]
Your answer depends on where you live. Set your state and we'll check it for you.
Why this is the answer
A governor is the chief executive of a U.S. state, and each state elects its own governor. Because the answer depends on where you live, there is no single name for everyone. Washington, D.C. is not a state and does not have a governor.
💡 Memory tip: Memorize the current governor of your state; if you live in D.C., say D.C. has no governor.
Could you say it out loud to an officer?
