Which answers change by state?

On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For Nebraska, that includes your governor, your state capital, one of your state's U.S. senators, and your U.S. representative.

The representative answer is the most specific one because it depends on your congressional district. Two people in Nebraska can have different House answers even though they share the same governor, capital, and senators.

How to study this page efficiently

Memorize the governor and capital first, then choose one senator you can answer confidently out loud.

Finish by checking your House district result close to interview day, because representatives can change and the right answer depends on your address.

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.
