The national test still asks where you live
On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on your state. For Nebraska, that includes the governor, the state capital, one current senator, and your U.S. representative.
Start with fixed answers
Lock in the state capital and the governor before adding names that can change.
Choose one senator
USCIS asks for one senator, so pick the name you can say most confidently out loud.
Confirm your district
Finish with your House representative because that answer depends on your current address.

Common questions
FAQ
These are the follow-up questions applicants usually ask when they start reviewing state-specific answers.
Who is the governor of Nebraska now for the citizenship test?
On the naturalization interview, the current governor answer for Nebraska is Jim Pillen. This is one of the answers applicants should re-check close to interview day because governors can change after elections, resignations, or appointments.
What is the capital of Nebraska for the civics test?
On the naturalization interview, the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln. Capitals are stable facts, but they still matter because USCIS may ask the question exactly as "What is the capital of your state?"
Who is one of Nebraska's U.S. senators now?
On the naturalization interview, one correct senator answer is Deb Fischer or Pete Ricketts. Either name works because USCIS asks for one senator, not both, but it helps to know both names for review.
How do I find my U.S. representative in Nebraska?
On the naturalization interview, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. Nebraska currently has 3 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
